Things to do - Bois de Colfontaine

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. 
 
Distance from SHAPE; 22 minutes
 
 
 
Dogs; Yes
 
Cafe; There are two nearby pub/ cafes with outdoor seating and children's play park. Closed at the moment but hopefully not for long!
 
Toilets; Not at the moment, as cafes closed.
 
Buggy friendly; Yes if you stick to the main routes. 
 
Top tips; Can get muddy - good shoes!!
