Departure: Rue Grégoire Jurion 22, 7120 Estinnes

We start at the abbey and basilica of Our Lady of Good Hope. We walk through the fields and partly along the RAVeL cycle path towards the Bois Menu. About halfway, we briefly leave the woods and there's an opportunity to take a comfort break at one of the two taverns.

After that, we return to the woods, the Bois des Communes. Here lies the Pincemaille estate, a former holiday park/campsite that has now been transformed into an ecovillage. The current residents live in yurts, tiny houses, or self-built, sometimes somewhat ramshackle constructions.

Then we walk back through the fields to the starting point. Note that the forest paths can be very muddy in wet weather. In the autumn, hunting takes place in these forests, so keep an eye on the hunting calendar via https://partageonslaforet.be/
