A walk from the site 'Original Walks' (3 blocks), you can print the route there and take the GPS as a backup. Dolembreux, a part of Sprimont, two streets big, a church and a small school, nothing more. A gently hilly and green area intersected with stream valleys. The walk heads towards a beautiful viewpoint Le Boubou via a steep zigzag path and a viewpoint Auguste Donnay. Also worth a visit is the cave 'Trou des Nutons'. Beautiful valley (or almost a ravine) in the Manants forest. Cross a stream twice, still easy to do in November without getting wet. Parking at the cemetery of Dolembreux, Rue Jean Doinet (GPS house number 18). We took 5 hours and 30 minutes including a picnic. Le Boubou was once an old dairy on the edge of 'Bois des Manants' but is now private property. The two viewpoints are equipped with a bench and are nice places to picnic. Be careful during the hunting season, hunting also occurs in this region. On the OW site, you can find the hunting days through a link. Here's a fun fact! In the highest part of the valley (around 13 km on the route), there are several caves including 'Trou des Manants' which extends for 5 km and was discovered in 1969 and 'Grot Veronika', a protected cave that extends for 2 km with a large chamber and a drop of almost 100 meters.
