Ups and downs in terms of terrain, but not at all in terms of relationships, quite the contrary! The Namur Ardennes, on the Semois side, is very hilly!The route will test your calves, so it is best to avoid it in wet weather and to follow it in the suggested direction rather than in the opposite direction.
