Domaine de Palogne

90% offroad, 10% route

Distance 37.3 km, elevation gain 759 m

Starting from Domaine de Palogne, follow the river on the left bank along the Ravel path to Bomal, then follow the track to 'Vincent bois' and begin a nice warm-up climb on a shale path with some nice stones. Be careful on the descents as the protruding stones are quite sharp and slippery. The climbs and descents continue towards the Ozo goat farm where you can taste their delicious cheeses. The route proceeds towards Villers-Sainte-Gertrude and Vieux Fourneau. Along the way, discover the Vieux Fourneau stream, a splendid valley that will certainly dazzle you. This is where it gets tougher with the biggest elevation gain on the course. Once at the top, it descends towards Izier behind the houses towards Vieuxville. The small technical passage will delight enthusiasts; for others, an escape route is possible via the main trail. At the place called la résurgence de la Lembrée, cross the small bridge to the main road and stay on the sidewalk; the route keeps to the path on the right. A bit higher up, you cross this main road to continue on the main path. Another nice climb! At the summit, you find yourself in the meadows above My; small country paths will lead you back to Domaine de Palogne without many more difficulties.
