La Satou.
You start in Bohan and cross the bridge of the Semois. Once you're out of the built-up area, you can walk into the Bohan-Membre nature reserve. The beautiful nature reserve that you enter was already protected in 1949. Lovers of fish, mammals, birds and an extremely varied flora will find what they are looking for. You go on the ridge for a while and then start a tough descent. You arrive at the beautiful stream La Satou. You now follow the banks of the Semois, sometimes you come a little closer, other times you walk through a young forest that is a little further away from the river. You arrive at the next side stream of the Semois, the Ruisseau de Ransnimont. A little further you come to the edge of the forest and you reach the Semois again. You walk in the direction of Membre via a paved road through a campsite. In Membre you cross the Semois again and follow the Rue De Membre for a long time, this is the more boring part of the walk. At a telephone mast you turn off and follow a wide forest road in the direction of Bohan.
