Épioux Walk

The Épioux Walk, located in Chiny, is a 6.4 km loop, ideal for a hike of about 2 hours. This route crosses the Ardennes forest and follows streams, offering a beautiful diversity of landscapes. With an elevation gain of 123 m, this walk is accessible while still including some moderate climbs.

The walk begins near the Étang des Épioux, a peaceful spot in the heart of the forest. From the very first steps, follow the marked trails that run alongside the pond and into the woods. This initial section is relatively flat and easy to follow.

The second half of the hike is more downhill and winds through clearings and streams. These open areas allow you to appreciate varied landscapes before reaching the Épioux pond, the starting and finishing point of the circuit.
