A lovely walk enhanced by the legends trail and the wooden bridge. A great starting point and return to Vresse.

Nice hike, between 2 and 3 we were higher than the planned route but parallel to it.

A pleasant little hike. You can also do it in reverse: start with the climbs and descents and finish with the peaceful stretch along the Semois, which is magnificent. At the moment (early May), the paths are still quite muddy. We found the route easily with the help of the app.

The description of the start of the walk is not precise enough.
The famous fir tree in question has been cut down and the meadows have been fenced off.
It should be noted that the path turns left at a right angle. Then you have to cross the meadow just before the fir tree wood, on your right.
At the end of the meadow, you will reach the main path leading to the Semois.

Description and maps are a bit vague at the beginning to reach the forest path after taking the trail on the right at the cemetery. The rest of the walk is fine and the scenery is magnificent.

Hello

There is an error when arriving at the Mauison Vacances holiday park: the explanation is a little confusing
=> when taking the staircase marked GR16 at the entrance to the holiday village, you have to go down about 20 metres and then take the path on the left, not on the right as mentioned
=> We therefore ended up on the main road below, instead of finishing through the woods to arrive at Vresse s/ Semois.

Very nice walk and consistent with the description on the map. Easy parking at the start of the walk. We will do it again when the shops are open in Vresse sur Semois and when it is possible to visit the tobacco museum once lockdown is lifted.

Beautiful route along the Semois (from 1 to 2). A little monotonous on the way back. But the description at the beginning needs to be changed. After the right-hand corner mentioned in 1, there are several large fir trees. After passing under the first one, there is indeed a small path to the right, but it is completely lost in the brambles and nettles and is impassable! The solution we found is to take a small path along a fence and through a meadow before passing under the first fir tree. This leads to a wider path which you take to the right and, a little further on, to a path which you take to the left. This last path is marked (mountain bike markers), so it must start somewhere near the bridge, but where? The same comment applies to the "Around the village of La Forêt" hike!

Pleasant walk; follow the Semois river, flat undergrowth; slightly steep return; be careful at point 3, take the first staircase on the left before the first flats, then the small path on the left; the last section is on the road but there is very little traffic.

Very peaceful route. However, with the resumption of walking activities, the start of the route was not maintained (from the path after the fir tree). We had to make our way through tall nettles for 200 to 300 metres. A shame. But the rest of the path was exactly as described.
I would have liked to send you some photos, but I don't know how to do that.
Kind regards
and thank you for your simply brilliant app. It's the only one I use now. :-)

A hike mainly to warm up... Too bad about the last part on the road!

A quick note about point 1: Turn right immediately after passing under the large fir tree.
The owner of the land was there when we passed by... a very friendly person... He is aware that this route is mentioned on several websites, but he told us that it is private land and that he was going to fence it off to plant corn.
At point 3, we missed the access to the GR and took a parallel path a few dozen metres away. As a result, we ended up too high up.

Finally, it was a shame about the 1.5 km descent on the tarmac road, but it was difficult to do otherwise.
Otherwise, the explanations were accurate.
