Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου Ouffet

Το τοπίο αποζημιώνει για την ενίοτε ανώμαλη κατάσταση του οδοστρώματος.

Κάποτε γραφόταν Comblenz, αυτή η τοποθεσία, όπως και η γειτονική της Comblain-la-Tour, οφείλει το όνομά της στο λατινικό confluentes που σημαίνει συμβολή. Η γερμανική πόλη της Κόμπλεντς έχει την ίδια ετυμολογία. "Ο πρώτος καστελάνος του Comblain του οποίου γνωρίζουμε το όνομα ήταν πιθανότατα ο Raoul de Comblain (Rr dulfus de Comblenz) του οποίου η γυναίκα ονομαζόταν Ide (11 Οκτωβρίου 1146)" (πηγή: "Les Echos de Comblain " n°1970.12, Emile Detaille). Οι κάτοικοι του Comblain-au-Pont είναι οι comblennois.

The current castle, which belongs to the d'Ursel family, was built around 1880 on the site where the Durbuy castle had always stood. The first mentions in texts date back to the 11th century. In the 13th century, Durbuy was part of a defensive structure in the north of the County of Luxembourg. The gates and ramparts of the castle disappeared in the 18th century when King Louis XIV had the city and castle dismantled in 1675 and 1689. Today, the old legendary castle is only a shadow of a legend and appears to be passé for the occasional day tripper. New legends have taken over Durbuy and embraced it financially.

The Château de Durbuy, or Durbuy Castle, is fairly centrally located in Durbuy. The current castle dates from the seventeenth century and was built on the ruins of the former castle. The castle is privately owned and is not open to the public. It is one of the few castles in the Ardennes that cannot be visited or rented at all. The castle is located on the banks of the Ourthe. Because of its height, you would think that you would have the best view of Durbuy if you were standing in the castle, but the best view is actually from the higher viewpoint of Durbuy: the Belvédère. Unfortunately, you can only enjoy this panorama when the Durbuy tourist train is running around. This train takes you to the Belvédère lookout tower, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of Durbuy and the Ourthe valley.

One of the many dolomite limestone rock formations in this valley. Vertical rock walls with a statue of Our Lady at the top, hence the name. Once erected by passing skippers on their flatboats, for protection, as the Ourthe River was a dangerous spot here.

Leaving Durby requires a climb. You will have to go through Thier de Viné by taking rue de la Haie. In doing so you have beautiful views as you climb.
