August 25, 2024,La boucle noire, Charleroi

Thank you @Jeff S for this Komoot track. Beautiful day to do the black loop. 4 slag heaps to tackle. I loved the slag heap of Martinet with its nature reserve. The last slag heap, the slag heap of Piges, which takes us to the city of Charleroi, is amazing. Prepare your calves, it's a climb!

We started on the black boulder at Place Albert 1er for easy parking.
Surprising, varied route with a view of the industrial basin.
Negative point: a lot of rubbish and illegal dumping on the route
