Icon description route Description

Departure: Saint Martin's Church - Rue Haute - Crupet

Next to the church stands an impressive grotto in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua, built between 1900 and 1903 by the villagers of Crupet. In four niches, one can find life-sized, somewhat kitschy statues depicting the life of Anthony.

We leave the village via the castle and the mill of Crupet. Here, there are many waterways and the Ry de Gence stream gently flows. Further, the path goes through forests towards the old quarries, where you follow the Bocq valley. Along the way, a historic railway line crosses your path; a tourist (steam) train still runs here in the summer.

Via the quiet village of Durnal, you return to Crupet through open fields.

Some slopes along the way - walking sticks may be useful. No catering facilities on the route. Popular hiking area: on beautiful days it can be quite busy.
