A long circuit with varied landscapes, crossing woods, streams, villages, and meadows from the banks of the Meuse to the heights of the Ardennes plateau.

At the end of the path, go down the road to the left then follow the street to the right and reach the Place de Launet.3 Head towards Haybes (RD7) for 1,100 m. After 2 turns, leave the road for the rocky path climbing to the left.4 Turn left at the intersection (benches installed nearby). Pass the power lines and follow the forest track heading south. Further on, a single-track meanders between the birches parallel to a path. Keep the same direction at the crossing.5 At the small square of the Buisson de la Douane near the RD989, take the forest path leading into the woods.

Continue northwest on a narrow path with multiple bumps and turn right via a small footbridge to join the "bumpy" path of the Voie Baudale.8 Pass the sign "viewpoint André CUNIN".
