Icon description route Description

The departure of this route is normally at the church of Foy, but we parked the car at the '101 Airborne E Company Memorial' next to the old railway line, now a cycling route Ravel 163. It is well marked on one side.

You walk a lot on hardened surfaces. However, the beautiful surroundings make up for it.

The Pilgrims' Route is still walked annually by German pilgrims from Lendersdorf. Their ancestors had promised to go on a pilgrimage to Saint-Hubert if the rabies epidemic, which had affected the region, would end.

The path follows the old railway line and goes through embankments that transition into a mix of grasslands and shrubs, which form an ideal habitat for breeding songbirds. Hazelnut trees and hawthorns also thrive there.
