June 25, 2025, RAVeL L109 Cycle Path

Between Chimay and Thuin, the RAVeL L109 runs along a superb cycle path along a former railway line. The route is bordered by forests and meadows. You'll cycle far from cars, through the Hainaut countryside.

As of April 25: There's a restroom but no seating. No fireplace or firewood. Fires are prohibited. Given the lack of seating, I don't think the village youth meet here at the moment. Overall, a very quiet overnight spot.

This large artificial lake is a superb hiking spot. The tour of the lake is a route of approximately 16 kilometers, allowing you to discover the banks of the lake and the Helpe Majeure river, through beautiful meadows and the Abbé-Val-Joly national forest.

Very nice circuit partly on the Ravel and in the heart of the Belgian countryside with very pretty landscapes. No big difficulties. I did it in 2 hours with an EAB.

Very quiet, wooded and well-developed cycle path. I'll be back 👍

From the Meuse behind Dinant (B) to Hirson (F), it's over 50km along an old railway line with a moderate gradient through a very beautiful, wooded landscape. It's a much better alternative than the EUROVELO 3 from Namur via Charleroi to France.
