Pont de Claies Walk

Departure and start of the hike

The walk begins in Vresse-sur-Semois , along Rue du Pont. In just a few steps, you'll reach the Semois River and its famous Pont de Claies (accessible seasonally). This temporary structure, installed in the summer, allows you to cross the river on foot via a footbridge made of wooden piles and wattle, a legacy of traditional craftsmanship.

Points of interest

  • The Semois River , peaceful and meandering, accompanies part of the route
  • The Pont de Claies , unique in Belgium, is erected every summer according to an ancient tradition.
  • The village of Laforêt , listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia

Return to the starting point

The descent gradually leads you back towards the valley. Before reaching the wicker bridge and the starting point, you will walk alongside a section of the river again, ideal for a contemplative break or a picnic.
