April 7, 2024,PV Moulin-Du-Ruy 20kms magiques

As always near Stoumont, a real pleasure to walk in this town which is a paradise for hikers. Today's report from Moulin-Du-Ruy, 20 magnificent kms mainly in the woods. Magnificent landscapes throughout the route. Difficulty level: 3/5. Some beautiful hills to overlook the valley on each side. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The guide is the Roannay, a tributary that rises near Francorchamps and flows near La Gleize.
If you're already feeling a bit fatter 🙈, you can still go along the Mont des Brumes ski slope.
At about km 12, the path is currently blocked by felled spruce trees, which adds some elevation gain 🥵 (plus some crawling and scrambling).
