Description
Departure: Cemetery, Rue du Goutteux 3 - 7090 Hennuyères
Walk through various forests and along villages and field paths. 'Le Bois de la Houssière or Le Grand Bois Commun' is a beautiful veteran forest with many dead trees and dead wood. Their presence is often seen as messy and unkempt. Yet we must strive to give a place to veteran trees and dead and rotting wood even in managed forests. In the windy winter months, this forest should be avoided due to the danger of falling trees.
Then continue to the Bois de Neppe and Champ du Morsnart. We walk here in spring past beautiful green flax fields.
In Rebecq, a sanitary stop can be made at the local tennis club 'Tennisland Rebecq', which is open 7/7.
The region became known in the 90s for the closure of Forges de Clabecq with Roberto D'Orazio as a passionate but also controversial unionist. The blast furnaces have since been demolished and the site now hosts 200 family homes.
