For those who enjoy mountain biking and exploring beautiful passages, this hike is a great option. You'll cross beautiful trails and a medieval site (Château de Moncornet) (cover photo). There are some technical points, but they're not insurmountable.

Sublime in the winter mist, colourful in autumn, invigorating in spring and a real seaside resort in summer, the Lac des Vieilles Forges can be enjoyed all year round.

In the middle of the Ardennes forest, the Vieilles Forges lake brings variety to the forest landscape. A nice stop during a mountain bike outing.

Beautiful and varied walk between fields and meadows and through forest. On the way you pass through a few villages, go around a walled castle and pass the well-preserved ruins of an old fortress in Monthermé.

Hike through the forest and return via a small road without significant traffic. In the forest, wet path. Equip yourself accordingly.
