Ravel car park in Rue de la Poudrerie, 4500 Huy, on the road between two breweries/taverns on the N90 Huy-Andenne along the Meuse. Continue along the road after the brewery car park to reach the Ravel car park.
There are lots of signs at the start.
(S/E) With the Solières stream on your left, take the Route de la Poudrerie. On your left, there is a ford; this is where you will return. Continue straight ahead. Ignore the path on your right leading to the ruins of Beaufort Castle. Continue to the fork. Turn right and then take the wide grassy path on the left. Further on, go around the barrier and continue on the Ravel.

(1) At the old powder magazine, whose buildings can be seen below, and the two rock formations on either side of the Ravel, turn left and go down the path. At the bottom, in front of an old powder magazine building, continue to the right. At the fork, turn left and further on, cross the stream.
No markings
When you reach a cable stretched across your left, climb up. The climb is quite steep, but the cable is there to help you up to Trou Manto. If this is too steep for you, see the Practical Information section.
Once you reach the cave entrance (closed by a gate as it is not open to visitors), climb over the cable, follow the path on your left along the rock and turn right at the top to pass above the cave.
Follow the faint path and you will discover another cave shelter in front of you. This one is not closed, but you will have to crawl on all fours if you want to explore it. Then take the path down to the right of the entrance. Pass in front of the Grotte Saint-Étienne, which is also closed by a gate, and you will reach the exit of the Trou Manto cave. Continue along the path to reach the Grand Abri sous Roche de Ben Ahin, also known as the Caverne des Romains. Do not go down the path on your right, but continue straight ahead. A little further on, the faint path descends to the right. Take this path.
You can check out the faults and other entrances on the heights of the rock shelter and then retrace your steps to descend to the Solières.

Once you are back at the edge of the Solières, turn right to see a pretty little waterfall near the wooden steps, retrace your steps and continue along the path running alongside the stream.
(2) At the intersection with the single-arch stone bridge, turn right. Cross the bridge and then continue on the left. Ignore the stairs on your right and the path on your left and continue straight ahead. Pass a gate further on.
(3) At the hairpin bend, turn left. Pass the pontoon and turn right.
Red Triangle signpost
Stay on the main path until you reach a multiple junction at the top of the hill.
(4) Take the forest path on the left that is not closed. Follow this path without worrying about the paths on your left, which are all private and closed by chains or barbed wire.
(5) Just before reaching the road, look for the signpost in the meadow on your left. Follow the old fence posts on your right until you reach the watering trough. Then head towards the copse on your right. Do not enter it despite the signpost, but follow it along the edge. There is nothing else in the woods, and the path is poorly maintained, so stick to the meadow. Pass a hunter's ladder and, at the end of the woods, turn right into the clearing. You will come to a green fence separating the woods from the meadow. Go through it (if you have any difficulty, see the Practical Information section).
Follow the barbed wire fence to the second gate, go through it and continue downhill, following the fence. Go through the third gate and you will come to the road. Turn right. At the intersection, continue straight ahead.
(6) At the next intersection, continue straight ahead on the road, which becomes a dirt track and turns left. Enter the forest. At the crossroads, turn left.
(7) At the fork, turn right and at the next fork, turn left. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead and follow the cultivated fields. A path will appear on your left; continue along it. At the bend, at the corner of the field, turn left and enter the forest. Ignore the first path on your left and take the next one, as the third path is closed to all vehicles. The path becomes steep. Go downhill, then turn right and go uphill.
(8) At the T-junction, turn left and enter the Lovegnée-Bosquet nature reserve. Ignore the path leading off to the left into the tall grass and turn right. You will see the quarry. Continue downhill and go around the barrier. Cross the Solières over the large concrete pipe on your right, as the path has collapsed. Turn right and return to the car park (S/E).
