This mountain-biking route offers a pleasant athletic hike through our beautiful region of Thudinie that alternates between woods, countryside, farming landscapes, churches and tourist sites. There are very beautiful views over the Sambre. Walk near the Baudribu farm and fields, Biesme-sous-Thuin church, ‘Le Gibet’ hamlet, Notre-Dame des Carmes church, etc. Between the different tourists spots, the route runs through magnificent loamy landscapes and fields of crops. Walk by Aulne abbey and its majestic abbey church nestled in the Sambre Valley. Crossing through the paved streets of Thuin and climbing through Waibes Wood with its steep slopes promise to be challenging.
