Description by the author

Crupet, a small village located in the province of Namur and a part of Assesse. This village is one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia and lies on the path of the GR575, Namur Condroz.

This place is a pilgrimage site and a tourist attraction, due to the special Saint Antoine cave and the lower-lying château de Crupet or château des Carondelet.

We start towards the castle, then walk towards Mont. From Mont, we descend towards the Bocq river, walking via and along its old railway line to Chansin.

From Chansin, we choose the narrowest paths back to Crupet in an adventurous hike of 25 kilometers.
