Circuit vélo : RAVeL de la Molignée

Secure dedicated cycle path (RAVeL) with asphalt surface. The path is 2 metres wide on average, with a few narrow sections (clearly signposted and less than 20 metres long). Access to the cycle path is at least 1 metre wide.

The gradient along the route is gentle. There is an area at the junction with the ‘Bord de Meuse’ line that has a steeper gradient (7%) but over a short distance.

Clear signage on the route.

Most road crossings are properly secured and have minimal elevation changes (see point of attention).

There is at least one accessible rest area every 15 km.

There are no accessible toilets at the start of the circuit. There are adapted toilets at Draisines de la Molignée (payable) and Lac de Bambois. Please note that these are not open all the time, but only during opening hours.

There are no adapted parking spaces at the start of the circuit (gravel car park), but there are two at the Place Communale in Anhée, 50 metres away.

There are areas of the route where the surface is raised by roots, making it uncomfortable to ride on. The viaducts also have a 2 cm step. In winter weather, they are likely to be icy.

The crossing at the old Maredret station has a pavement with a bevelled kerb 8 cm high. You need to put your foot down to cross safely.

There are rest areas and furniture that are not accessible (placed on the grass, with a step to access them).
