Go by car or public transportation to La Roche-en-Ardenne. From there, take bus 15/2 at the Quai de l'Ourthe bus stop to Filly Centre. Note that bus 15/2 runs very infrequently, so good planning is essential. Walk 3 km to the embarkation point at Aire de Brésol just past the dam. Paddle 20 km to one of the exit points at Aire de la Roche. This route is beautiful but fairly technical and is only recommended in high water conditions.
