Bois de Colfontaine -
Stretching over Colfontaine, Dour, and Frameries, this 750 hectares of
unspoilt woodland has many walking routes. It is a nature must-see,
cycling or walking, on paved paths or ‘off the beaten tracks’.
There are three signposted routes. The
longer 10km (green) and 11 km (pink) long circuits - picture below. For
younger visitors, the yellow signposted 'Rando des Leus', provides a 5
km circuit - try and surprise the red squirrel or deer.
