This 8km loop starting from Géronstère offers an immersion in nature in Spa, between forest streams and iconic springs. The route winds mainly through undergrowth, with moderate terrain and an alternation of gentle climbs and more rolling sections along the water.

Start and beginning of the route

The departure point is at the Source de la Géronstère car park, near the inn.
The route quickly enters the woods to reach the Pouhon Pia, before following various streams in the heart of a calm and natural environment.
