Description by the author

A short but spectacular walk on the rocks of the Hérou with beautiful views. It's really climbing and getting by on some stretches.

The first 500 meters of the march follow the red and white markings of the LOI. After some climbing, jostling and several photos, a descent follows a chain (see the last photo under the route information). Be careful in slippery weather, or rather.. Do not take this walk in wet weather.

After the descent along the chain follows a relatively relaxed section along the Ourthe where sometimes an obstacle has to be overcome such as a fallen tree or a rock. After about two kilometres of walking along the Ourthe, we leave the valley in the direction of the car park. Especially the last few meters can be very heavy.

Appreciated? Then take a look at "Adventurous walk Nisramont Dam - climbing the Hérou - wading in the Ourthe".
