Fort Battice

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Battice is a Belgian fortification built after 1934 near the town of the same name, about 20 km east of Liège. The fort was part of the outer ring of fortifications around Liège (French: Position Fortifiée de Liège – PFL 1) and covered the eastern front of the city. It secured several road and railway lines. Eight other forts were within range of its artillery (Wikipedia).

Herve Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

In 1873, a few days before the opening of the second section of line 38 from Micheroux to Herve, the Belgian State Railways opened line 38, whose origin is the Chênée station. The station is the terminus of the line until January 25, 1875, when the next section of Herve opens at Battice3 station.
Line 38 declined after World War II. The passenger train service was discontinued in 1965. Now you will find the wonderfully accessible bicycle line here.

Val-Dieu Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Val-Dieu Abbey is the only Belgian Abbey to survive the French Revolution. There are no more monks, but a Christian community still occupies the premises. A magnificent place full of tranquility. It is possible to eat in the old barn transformed into a brewery where you can taste the products of the abbey (wine, liquor, beers ...).
