The route is set out entirely along the old No 163 railway line, where folklore and delicious local produce with the smells of salted goods nestle in the heart of the region's valleys. You go deeper into this green lung, the Belgian Ardennes, in peace and quiet and in total safety. First of all, you cross through thick forests of deciduous and evergreen trees. 

From this route, you follow the Lesse, a serene, enchanting river that invites you to soak your feet for a moment.
From Halma, you cross woods and countryside where the numerous picnic areas tempt you to rest and listen to the lapping water. You reach the place called Le Moulin de Daverdisse, a splendid, typical Ardennes building.
 

This route follows the old local railway line 618, now set out as a pre-RAVeL path between Assenois, the Strange lakes in Hompré and Martelange. You cross through many villages in the Pays de Bastogne region, in the peaceful, idyllic setting of the Strange and the Sûre valleys. Set largely in a Natura 2000 protected area, the surrounding countryside literally invites you to dawdle. Once you reach Martelange, you may decide to continue on towards Redange and Luxembourg city on the cycling routes network of the Grand Duchy.

Starting from Marche, capital of the Famenne region and a favourite spot for cyclists with 350 km of waymarked roads dedicated to bikes, you first follow the RAVeL and a connecting cycle path that takes you to Hotton.
