As you leave Perwez, you will go through an agricultural landscape for about fifteen kilometres before reaching the valley of the Petite Jette. Following a gentle slope, you will then reach the plateaux of the commune of Lincent. 

The area around the Line 147 RAVeL is very open. The landscape encourages you to daydream. The RAVeL here reaches an altitude of 180 m. You are in Hesbaye du Nord on the edge of the orchards of Limburg.
If you carry on past Racour railway station, you will go into the commune of Landen in the province of Flemish Brabant.
