Wanting to avoid the main road in Visé I did this segment by road bike (32mm tires) but I can not really recommend it.

Entrance to the Bos van la Julienne

Highlight • Forest

The entrance to the Julienne forest offers an exciting start for mountain bikers, with narrow paths that immediately wind into the dense greenery. A varied course full of challenging bends, short climbs and technical sections through the forest awaits you here.

Julienne Ponds

Highlight • Lake

The Julienne is a Belgian stream flowing in the province of Liège, a tributary of the Meuse on the right bank.
It has its source in Retinne, then crosses the town of Saive, watering the foot of the old castle there. It passes in the bottom of Légipont, then under the E40 motorway and enters a small, partly wooded, rural valley; it forms the Julienne ponds before flowing into the Meuse at Argenteau.
The name evokes Sainte-Julienne de Cornillon, born in Retinne in 1192.

Wixhou Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Wixhou is located at the top of the northeastern slope of the Julienne valley at an altitude of around 130 m. Located on the edge of the woods of the Domaine de la Julienne, the hermitage and chapel of Notre-Dame au Bois d'Argenteau were originally a modest oratory built in 1683 at the request of Count Louis-Antoine de Claris, Count of Clairmont and Argenteau. The transformations leading to the current construction began in 1849 at the initiative of Count François de Mercy-Argenteau. A pilgrimage takes place every September 8 for the feast of Our Lady of Wixhou.
