Camping Les Ochay: Viewing points Le Mergire, Les Baux and Moulin de Cugnon

Start your walk at Camping Les Ochay in Mortehan:
Rue de Linglé 37
6880 Bertrix
49,80345° N, 5,21384° O

At camping Les Ochay turn left to cross the bridge over the Semois. At the first junction turn left and follow the road until you come to a first path on your left and take this path. On the other side of the road you’ll find a lovely picnic/bbq area called “ La Coulee Verte”

So, we take the first path on the lefthandside of the road and follow the path. Soon the path splits in two, keep following the lefthandside path which will get you at the first viewing point: Le Mergire. On the way you’ll find some handrails to ease your stability.

Continue past the viewing point until you reach the road and the chapel “Notre Dame du Prompt Secours” Here you take the uphill forestpath on your right to climb towards the second viewing point: “Les Baux”
At “Les Baux” you’ll find a nice viewing platform overlooking the Semois, Mortehan and camping La Cote d’Aise.
You’ll also find an acoustic cone and some benches here. You have now reached the highest point of the walk so a well-deserved break is possible here.

To continue the walk you’ll have to take the path on your left inbetween the viewing platform and the cone.
This path will bring you back to the road where you go left and follow the road back towards the chapel you walked by not so long ago.
Here you leave the road and walk the path on the left parallel to the road until you reach another road and a bench. Take a right here and follow the road all the way through Cugnon passing by the church Saint Remi and “Le moulin de Cugnon”.

Cross the bridge over the Semois and immediately after take a path on your left, walking next to the Semois until your reach the ancient cemetery and Saint-Hubert church in Mortehan.

Cross the main street and take the first road on your left, Rue de la Cherreau. Follow the road until you reach another junction where, again, you go left. Follow the main road, Rue des Minieres, all the way back towards Camping Les Ochay.

Enjoy!
