Description by the author

With the church of Epravus (V) and the grotto of Lourdes on your right, you begin. You pass the restaurant Au Vieux Moulin and at the end of the street you see the old two-wheeled mill on the other side. The promenade Les Bergeronnettes turns left and is marked by green crosses. You also turn left and cross Rue d'Ajoule. Ignore a street on the left and at the fork follow rue Saint-Roch which goes up. Further on, the Saint-Roch chapel is at altitude, to the left of the road. Continue to follow the paved road and pass Bridge 1 over an old railway platform, now a RAVeL track. On the other side, turn right and pass the Scierie de la Lesse. The asphalt turns into a gravel road and you walk along the edge of the forest, with a beautiful view on the right. Don't worry about secondary roads, they are all closed by the way. You arrive at a fence that is just across the road. Through a primitive door, you pass through it. Immediately afterwards, you are at a crossroads. Walk straight. The road is rougher and can be quite dirty. Past a vibrant gate, you arrive at the busy N911. Follow it 200 m to the right and then turn left onto the wide gravel road next to car park 2. The road is closed to motorized traffic and climbs gently. You pass a barrier and at a crossroads, with a forest road on the right that is closed by a gate, you turn left. At the next intersection, continue straight ahead and pass a barrier again. It comes down slowly now. You pass a hunters' watchtower, leave a forest road on the right and then it descends harder. Enjoy the silence of the forest and with a little luck, you will see deer crossing your path. Beyond a bend, the road becomes half hollow and there is a convex meadow on the left. You approach the edge of the forest and on the T turn left. The path becomes more rugged and because a stream flows next to it and sometimes above it can be very muddy here. You descend between two meadows with hedges to a wide gravel road. Follow it to the left until you reach a T with the Chemin des Fresnes. 180 m is written on a hexagonal sign. The promenade turns left, but if you want to treat yourself to something more, you can walk 500m to the right to the 18th century Briquemont chapel. Queen Astrid often visited him when she stayed at the Château de Ciergnon, the royal country residence. After her death in 1935, the chapel was renamed Queen Astrid 3 Chapel. Every year, on the date of his death (August 29), a memorial mass is held here. At the chapel, you have a beautiful view of Briquemont. From the hexagonal sign, you walk on a wide forest road to the N911. You are forced to follow it again 200 m to the right, then turn left into the first road. If you want to avoid the busy road and have no problem with a road that can be very dirty, cross the busy road and take the first country road on the right. At the end, turn left. You walk for a long time in the forest on a paved road in poor condition. When you exit the forest, you turn left with the paved road. On the forest on the left, on the right a beautiful view. You cross the direction Doyen and a little further on the RAVeL route 4. Don't worry about secondary roads and keep walking straight down Rue Saint-Nicolas. On the right in the distance, you can see the satellite dishes of Lessive. You enter the rue du Baty. The green crosses turn left. You take the hairpin bend to the right. At the fork with the cul-de-sac straight, turn left. You ignore the rue du Téléphone on the right and in front of a chapel turn left into the rue du Treux. You follow them to the starting point. On the way, you pass the Brasserie de la Lesse, where three craft beers have been brewed since the end of November 2011: Cambrée, Chinette and Red Cross.
