Description

A fine Gravel-type ride, relatively easy to get to, but already difficult for cyclo-tourists.

You'll discover the surrounding countryside and villages on small roads, beautiful gravel paths and a few dirt sections.

It offers lovely views of the surrounding countryside and the Semois.

The route passes through beautiful, typical villages such as Laiche, Chassepierre (Wallonia's most beautiful villages) and Sainte Cécile.

The walk takes in the Antrogne stream and the Semois river several times. There are several benches and picnic tables along the way. 

The walk also has a significant heritage aspect, with visits to numerous chapels and churches, the Breux footbridge at Chassepierre, the old Chassepierre mill, La Vanne des Moines at Sainte Cécile and the Herbeumont viaduct.

There are also a number of viewpoints to explore, including the Herbeumont viaduct, the former Prieré de Conques, a view of the countryside and Florenville, and a view of the Herbeumont viaduct.
