About
Trail Walking of 23 km to be discovered at Wallonia, Hainaut, Chimay. This trail is proposed by La Forêt du Pays de Chimay.
Description
We recommend giving yourself a day to make the most of this wonderful
walk of 21 kilometres. With a varied landscape, it is sure to be of interest to sporty types. In wet weather, bring good waterproof
shoes. The Virelles estate probably dates back to the 8th century. When visiting
the village, you can discover traces of the history of the 2 seigneuries in Virelles. The first, "Virelles-comté" (county), was part of Beaumont, like the village of Vaulx.
The second, "Virelles-principauté" (prinicipality), was owned by several families, including the De Croys and the Jacquiers. In 1445, the Duke of Burgundy annexed it to the
Seigneury of Chimay.

Un beau circuit pour les amateurs de chemins forestiers. Le circuit est balisé par un rectangle jaune. Tour du lac mais sans jamais le voir. Attention certains chemins peuvent être très boueux et certaines portions sont également dans un état quasi à l'abandon ! Calme assuré.
zeer mooie wandeling
