There are no shops or picnic tables along the route.
There is a bench or two on the section shared with the "Between Lesse and Lomme" walk (between points (4) and (7).
Forest walk in Jéhonville
This region of the southern Ardennes is particularly active in forestry: the small village of Jéhonville alone has two sawmills.
The forest is omnipresent, even though the route crosses a few areas of pasture and crops.
The hike is a free combination of sections of local walking trails, GR® trails, the "Between Lesse and Lomme" route that circles the municipality of Libin, and unmarked but publicly accessible paths.
The route crosses a didactic route called "Sur les traces de 14-18" (In the footsteps of 14-18) and passes through the Vieille Rochette Nature Reserve.
You may or may not like the unusual shape of the bell tower of the church in Jéhonville.
