Itinerary description

We walked the blue rectangle route, said to be 8.7km.

We walked a little extra at the eastern point to pass by the observation point “Grand Lys”

Nice walk, started along the lake and later a big portion through the Hertogenwald, a lovely forest.

Eat/drink possibilities at Lac de la Gileppe tower. Restaurant at the top, snack/burgers at the bottom.
Open Wednesday - Sunday
