The RAVeL Lines 613 and 163 connect Houffalize and Bastogne. Thanks to the RAVeL, you can safely and peacefully descend from Houffalize to the green lung of the Belgian Ardennes. You will cross not only dense forests with deciduous and coniferous trees but also high agricultural plateaus, dotted with imposing farms. Then you arrive in Bourcy, a peaceful village at 500 meters above sea level. From there, you always continue cycling safely on the RAVeL to reach Bastogne.
