Les Échelles - Rochehaut (the Ardennes) - Route 43
An extremely nice short hike, probably the nicest in Belgium.
Start your hike at the Church of Rochehaut — or at the beginning of the Route 43 — and follow the sign with a red rectangle on white board. Route 43 is very well marked till the end.
While some slopes are steep, it’s perfectly suitable for almost everyone. It’s unbelievable that authorities discourage doing this easy route, calling it “not for the faint-hearted”. The “ladders” are fun, the route is magnificently marked, well-kept. Just do it!
Important: use hiking shoes, and a pair of mountain sticks is advisable.
Do the route clockwise, so you can enjoy the view on the descent. Otherwise you’ll gonna miss it.
The route is definitely suitable for the kids of 10 and older.
