Itinerary description
An extremely nice short hike, probably the nicest in Belgium.
Start your hike at the Church of Rochehaut — or at the beginning of the Route 43 — and follow the sign with a red rectangle on white board. Route 43 is very well marked till the end.
While some slopes are steep, it’s perfectly suitable for almost everyone. It’s unbelievable that authorities discourage doing this easy route, calling it “not for the faint-hearted”. The “ladders” are fun, the route is magnificently marked, well-kept. Just do it!
Important: use hiking shoes, and a pair of mountain sticks is advisable.
Do the route clockwise, so you can enjoy the view on the descent. Otherwise you’ll gonna miss it.
The route is definitely suitable for the kids of 10 and older.

Nice! We are not pro at hiking but loved it. Moderate for a fit person.

A good hike with scenic beauty, amidst forest and river. Good Variation of elevation: up , down and flat walking trek. Not difficult at all; can be easily done by anyone with little physical activity.
Attention, certains endroits sont impraticables après des pluies abondantes et en automne à cause des feuilles mortes. Nous avons du faire demi tour et cela a été très laborieux. 3h1/2 pour faire la moitié du chemin et retour.
