Sunday, June 21, 2026 by Manu VerbinnenAs someone who loves hiking in the Flemish Ardennes, this route felt like a long hike with not much extra to offer. On the Walloon side of the hike, the signage turned out to be of poorer quality, so I don’t really recommend relying solely on the junction markers. Parking is more convenient at the Louise Marie Church. Seating is limited.

Sunday, February 14, 2021 by werner knopthanks to previous review writer mbt start of course. It is indeed a real challenge but beautiful. Starting from the music forest (deer spotted) and walking along the language border only to cross it. "Good day" becomes "bonjour". At node 6 you can enjoy a soup or coffee take away at chalet Gerard. Great

Monday, August 17, 2020 by Isabelle HufkensWonderful! At the end in the music forest a vicious and unexpected climb, other elevation changes quite doable. Part unpaved seems to us rather 75%. Fair amount of shade also in the woods. Sometimes a long search for a bench, but patience pays off! Starting point 36 is at Bistro Boekzitting, address Boekzitting 26, 9600 Ronse (mentioned starting address is wrong).
