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 path Ravel 163. It is well marked on one side.

You get quite a bit of hard surface underfoot. But the beautiful surroundings make up for it.

The Pilgrimage 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 that had affected the region would end.

The path follows the old railway line and passes through dikes, which transition into a mix of grasslands and shrubs, forming an ideal habitat for breeding songbirds. Hazelnuts and hawthorns also thrive excellently there.
