Begin your walk around Beauraing by walking through the Parc du Castel with its castle perched on the heights of the Calestienne, looking down across the town and the Famenne depression. Once you have left behind the town centre, its narrow lane and the site of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, the rest of the trail continues along the limestone strip. This trail will take you to unusual geosites such as the Neuville travertine and the Martouzin take-off area. The final part of the trail follows a pretty GR footpath between the fields and the wall of the Parc de Castel.
