La Roche aux Faucons Hike

This 11km loop starting in Esneux combines the Ourthe valley, a sustained forest climb, and panoramic views from the heights. The route begins with a rolling section along the river, before a significant climb between the 2nd and 4th kilometers. The rest of the route alternates between sections on the heights and a gradual descent back into the valley.

Start and beginning of the route

The starting point is in Esneux, on the banks of the Ourthe.
The route initially follows the river on a flat section, ideal for warming up, before heading into the woods to begin the climb.
