RAVeL L44A Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From Spa to Hockai is about 12km, and the route is also steadily uphill. With a moderate gradient of 1-3 or 4%, it's a great ride.

Franchimont Castle is an old medieval fortress built in the 11th century on a rocky outcrop. The ruins that remain are imposing! The site hosts a medieval fair (La Franchefoire) every third weekend of August in odd-numbered years. Entertainment, crafts, folklore ... a festive and cultural event that the locals look forward to.

The Haut-Marais bower is a vegetal vault made up of several thousand charms, most of them hundred years old. A rectilinear walk of more than 500 meters. Unusual and impressive!
