Description by the author

What a beautiful lake region, the Lacs de l'Eau d'Heure! It is extremely pleasant to cycle along the banks on one of the most beautiful RAVeL routes in the country.

We go to Cerfontaine, a village whose fate is linked to the rivers that cross it. The Eau d'Heure River operated sawmills and clog mills. Today, it feeds Lake Falemprise.

The Eau d'Heure lakes site, with the largest artificial lake in Belgium, was originally built to build up drinking water reserves and supply the Brussels-Charleroi canal. In the meantime, it has become a prominent tourist attraction.

As soon as we leave, we walk along the shores of Lake Falemprise, where we can stop for a swim (in the authorized area). The road is pleasant, we pedal close to the lake of Eau d'Heure and the Plate Taille. Thanks to the newly built network of nodes, one can easily locate oneself. The route has no obstacles.

Route type: RAVeL and low traffic roads.

Type of bike: STB (Sport & Touring Bike).

Difficulty: A journey of 32 km and length is the main difficulty.

Children: From +/- 15 years.

Departure: At the Cerfontaine Tourist Office, go through the Place de l'Eglise and the Place du Monument to the roundabout, where there is a crossroads.

Signage: Follow junctions 29, 98, 93, 92, 88, 86, 87, 91, 90, 96, 97, 31 and 29 (no signs between the last two nodes during our exploration at the end of 2015).
