The starting points for the signposted walks are usually in the villages (often at the church) or in easily identifiable and accessible places in the countryside.<\/p>\n
A walking map is available for each commune. These maps show all the local signposted routes and enable you to identify the starting points and routes.<\/p>\n
You can also download most of the routes from Cirkwi.<\/p>\n
If you come by car for a walk in the woods, remember these rules:<\/p>\n
– don’t park in the forest, but near the start area, leaving a clear space for the logging trucks to pass through<\/p>\n
– don’t park in front of the access gates<\/p>\n
– Respect the Highway Code and the Forestry Code.<\/p>\n

No, but with a suitable filtration system you can get water from the many streams that cross the route. It is therefore not necessary to burden yourself with water for three days. Is the trail accessible during the hunting season? Yes, but it is strongly discouraged. Due to the size of the trail, we cannot give you precise information on the areas affected by the daily hunt. Is there a specific site? Yes: www.rando-lesse-lomme.be. You will find all the practical information on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
