There are 4 signposted MTB routes in Somme-Leuze, all of which start at Heure.
This route, green, is the longest at 26 km and 456 meters in altitude .
The remaining routes are each 9 km/160 m altitude (blue) , 12 km/170 m altitude (yellow) and 20 km/333 m altitude (red) .
A combination of course 3 and 1 , where you switch from course 3 to course 1 at the Drêve de Waillet to continue course 3 on the return, is 29km/ 500hm .
The course starts in the parking lot near the Heure church.
We cross the N929 and cycle to the Rau du Neuf Vivier stream. Here begins a climb of almost 2.5 km on dirt road towards Somal. Now it goes slightly down and just before the Croix Saint-Roch where the chapel of ND de Lourdes is located, We turn left and go down to the Somme . We pass La ferme de Leuze , a former settlement of the Templars of Leuze. There used to be a mine here.
We follow the Somme Valley for a while, but soon the ascent to the highest point of the route begins: 330m. A nice climb on tarmac, in open country with the Somme Valley on the right: it's a picture! After the Five Nations Golf Club we turn right and start a 2 km descent , partly dirt, partly paved.
Then begins a tough climb through the Favereau forest , followed by a descent to the Ri des Soûrdants . Up again and past numerous chalets to the N63 , which we follow parallel to for a while, then follows a descent to the zoning. This boring part of the N929 takes about 2km...
From Baillonville there is a climb to Les Vennes . After the chalets in a work by Les sentier dart (Le chemin des 4 lunes), dive down to Heure where the starting point is.
Also, check out the sightseeing information while you're there. They tell you what you can see!
