📖 The story
A magnificent hike in the Semois Valley National Park! We crossed the brand-new Sainte-Cécile Himalayan footbridge, hanging 30 m above the Semois and 185 m long, before climbing to the superb Rocher du Chat, a rocky spur at 420 m that towers nearly 140 m above the river's meanders.
The path then took us to the Bohanan viewpoint, a wild promontory on the edge of a huge rock, with a splendid view over a still unspoilt Semois.
