Itinerary description

Domaine Les Epioux: Lake Epioux and Rocher du Chat

Start walk/little parking:
Etang d’Epioux
49,75372° N, 5,29852° O
Take the road via the village Lacuisine (49,71658° N, 5,31728° O)!
Don’t drive the forest road via Herbeumont!

Easy walk through the forest which starts at a beautifully situated lake. Unfortunately you can’t walk around it because it is private property. Start your walk at the lake. Leave the “castle” on your left and head for the bridge over the railway.

After the bridge, take the first gravel forestroad on your left. On a first junction, stay left. Stay on this forest road all the way until you come to a crossroad of a tarmac road and forest road. Go left here and follow the tarmac for a few mintues. Take the first forestroad on your right. After 50 meters you have three options in front of you. Take the path in the middle and follow this until you hit a T-junction. Go right and 100 meters further you’ll notice signs towards the viewing point Rocher du Chat. Follow the yellow signs to the left and not much later you’ll stand high above La Semois at Rocher du Chat.

After enjoying the panorama we walk back the same way towards the signs and now go left at the signs to continue our walk.
At a crossroad of 4 paths, go left! Follow the main path (the one you’re walking on) all the way towards the tarmac road. At the road you’ll find a little shelter, parking and some info.

Cross the tarmac road and continue your walk on the forest road in front of you. Follow this one all the way back towards the bridge over the railway and lake Epioux where you started this walk

Enjoy!
