The Belgian Ardennes

Duration

12 hours

Overview

We will start our tour in Namur, the enormous citadel spread over Champeau Hill still dominates the scene of a constant city under siege. The variety of landscapes along the Namur section of the river is a result of the types of rock through which it passes. We will reach Dinant. Dinant, lies in a remarcable setting in The Meuse Valley. In the past, Dinant was a fortress, renowned for the chased copper-and brass-ware produced here since the 12C. The little capital of the lovely Semois Valley is one of the most popular places in the Ardennes, with canoeing on the river (break-) and a wonderfull countryside.From Bouillon, still following The Semois, we will reach Orval and its World Famous Abbey.From Orval, we will aim Han-Sur-Lesse, exceptional village, in the heart of the Parc National de Lesse et Lomme, an extensive limestone upland crossed by the two rivers. From Han, we will drive to La Roche-en-Ardenne. From La Roche, we will follow The Upper Ourthe Valley.
