This distance can be increased by approximately 13 km motorized and approximately 10 km in a pedestrian way depending on the places of interest which you would like to explore further.
If, in principle, 120 km can be easily covered in a day, it would be preferable to plan at least one stopover where to sleep if you decide to explore all the possibilities of sight and activity. The center of Aywaille and Remouchamps, being in relation to the entire route positioned centrally, will be ideal places to stay. There you will find hotels, rural lodges and campsites.
The circuit can also be accomplished by seasoned cyclo-tourists, but it will then be necessary to plan one or two additional stages.

(GR 571) or
(AY 18b)) –
A tumultuous part of the Amblève strewn with enormous quartzite blocks. The resistance of this type of rock explains that at the place of the Fonds de Quarreux the valley is deeply steeped. The erosion of the slopes during the Quaternary era caused landslides towards the bed of the river, causing boulders of all sizes. These materials were washed away by successive floods except, precisely, the blocks of quartzite because of their large size. Located in the municipalities of Stoumont and D'Aywaille, the most spectacular part is on the latter. Like all somewhat mysterious places, the place has its legend: in exchange for its soul, Hubert Chefneux, miller from the Fond de Quarreux, obtained from the devil the beautiful windmill he dreamed of. But, anxious to save this soul, the miller's wife was on the watch. She hid in the mill, clutching a medal of Our Lady of Dieupart in her hands and prayed all night. At sunrise, the wheels of the mill refused to turn and, mad with anger, Satan brought down the mill, the colossal blocks of which tumbled down the slope to the bed of the Amblève.

Valley of the Ninglinspo stream, a tributary of the Amblève, classified as an exceptional real estate heritage of the Wallonia. With a drop of 250 meters and an average slope of 7.5%, it is one of the fastest rivers in Belgium. It is also characterized by the presence of ten natural vats formed by the continuous action of torrential waters from the heights on the soft rocks and bearing the evocative names of “bath” or “broth”. In some of these tanks the water is deep enough to swim and the rock of the waterfall forming the tank smooth enough to be able to slide through the water without hurting yourself. There are two trails to follow the stream; the first
follows it as closely as possible and is not recommended when accompanied by young children, the second
follows it at a greater distance but is much easier to cover. Along this second path, we can also see a 11 pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) whose dimensions in October 2013 were 3,75 m circumference at 1,50 m soil and 26,80 m from above.

To go
Although the route can be started at any point where there is a directional sign specific to this one, the ideal is despite everything to start it at the Ourthe-Amblève Tourist Office. If only to get tourist brochures or to follow this article from the beginning.
Coming from the west
Follow the national road NOT633 which crosses this part of the Amblève valley as far as the Sougné-Remouchamps bridge which spans this river, continue straight on the NOT666 in the direction of Louveigné. The Tourist house is on the left, 100 meters after crossing the bridge.
Coming from any other direction
Join the European route E25, exit 46 Remouchamps. Take the national road NOT633d Then NOT633 following the signs
Remouchamps Arrived at the Sougné-Remouchamps bridge which spans the Amblève, continue straight on the NOT666 in the direction of Louveigné. The Tourist house is on the left, 100 meters after crossing the bridge.
Circulate
Whether by car or bicycle, you should have no difficulty in getting around or finding a parking space, even in large tourist centers. Be careful, however, that some small roads are quite narrow and winding and that you should be extra careful if you are traveling in an imposing motorhome. The sections of the route between Pré de Lhoneux street and rue du Rixhon in Harzé as well as between the exit of the village of Chession and the national road NOT645 have no floor covering but are easily walkable.
To buy
- Craft beers from the Elvish micro-brewery To Elven Brewery.
- Bread or pastries produced at flour mill and bakery museum.
- Organic cheeses from the Fromagerie des Ardennes To Werbomont.
- For lovers, religious objects and souvenirs at Banneux Notre-Dame including bottles of holy water from the miraculous source.
Eat
You will have no difficulty finding a place to eat along your route. The highest concentrations of this type of place are in the center of Aywaille, in Remouchamps and in Banneux. Leisure parks Forestia and Wild World are also equipped with one or more places to eat. For those who prefer a picnic, the sections on the small roads along the woods or forests should allow you to find a place that suits you without forgetting the general safety instructions. However, the Sainte-Anne des Pouhons chapel is a calm and bucolic place that should delight you, especially as the place is equipped with a barbecue.
Have a drink / Go out
As for dining, you will have no difficulty finding a place, especially in the center ofAywaille, To Remouchamps and to Banneux, where to quench your thirst (and, perhaps, taste, in moderation, one of the local beers).
Security
In forest areas, it is best not to drive on temporarily closed paths, during the hunting season for example (be careful that hunting when approaching and on the lookout for wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) is authorized all year round), and informed by a reasoned opinion and provided with a pictogram on a red background. Camping and the production of fire is prohibited everywhere in the forest and traffic outside the paths is strongly discouraged. Always obey the instructions and orders of the agents of the DNF. Also note that they are empowered to draw up an offense report in the areas of air, water and soil pollution, noise damage and waste abandonment. Therefore, if you are picnicking, take great care not to light a fire outside clearly authorized areas, to take your trash and to make the place look like it did before you arrived.
Regarding flora, there is no ban on collecting mushrooms that you are sure to recognize as non-toxic. The same goes for wild fruits or apples and pears in old unfenced orchards. The only defense is the use of a blueberry comb.
