    The GR stage from Malmedy to Ligneuville first runs along the Warche towards Stavelot before the path to the destination Ligneuville meets the "Amel variant" of the GR-56.

    The route initially runs along a beautiful panoramic path to Xhurdebis (pronounced Hürdebise). In Falize, a mighty block of quartzite rock attracts all eyes. A short detour to the "Rocher de Falize" is also worthwhile because of the great panorama. The GR56 now leads into the Warche valley.

    At the viaduct of the E42 highway, another rock, the "Rocher de Warche", can be seen, but it is already on the Amel. Via Lodomez and Lasneville it goes back into the Amel valley. The village of Pont is, like Ligneuville, known for its fish farms.

    Author’s recommendation
