View of the Ourthe Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The river is created by the confluence of the Western Ourthe, which rises at Libramont, and the Eastern Ourthe, which begins at the town of Ourthe near the border with Luxembourg. Both source rivers unite at Nisramont. From here one speaks of the Upper Ourthe (Haute-Ourthe) and from La Roche-en-Ardenne of the Lower Ourthe (Basse-Ourthe).

Near the Longs Prés Stream

Highlight (Segment) • River

One of the most characteristic paysage of the Ardennes. Steep valley and a water stream passing across beautiful spots. Very cold air strams, get warm clothes.

Bronze Valley

Highlight (Segment) • River

The Bronze is a river in the Ardennes region of Belgium, a tributary of the Ourthe and therefore part of the Meuse watershed. It flows entirely within the province of Luxembourg.
The Bronze is formed by half a dozen small streams located northeast of the Barrière de Champlon in the commune of Tenneville. The river does not flow into any inhabited areas except for the hamlet of Hamerine near the village of Journal. It then joins the Ourthe at an altitude of 220 meters, right in the center of La Roche-en-Ardenne. A few dozen meters before its confluence, the stream flows under the Place du Bronze.
Its course, approximately 12 kilometers long, runs mainly through wooded areas. The slopes are very steep. Nearby, on the higher ground, are the villages of Journal, Mierchamps, Vecmont, Ronchampay, and Beausaint.

La Roche-en-Ardenne

Highlight • Settlement

The ancients who founded the locality and gave it a name, were struck by this heap of steep rocks which slide from the mountain of Daister, which rise in cliffs towards the heights of Corumont, which stand like massive tables on the thier gravel. What an impression of colossal grandeur did they not feel in front of this rocky outcrop, which overlooks the Ourthe, and on which were built the Roman and medieval fortifications which gave birth to the city. Everywhere are just rocks! So it is rightly that the place was baptized with the name of La Roche.

Wooden Suspension Bridge Over the Ourthe

Highlight • Bridge

The Ourthe is a river in Belgium, a tributary on the right bank of the Meuse. It is a river resulting from the confluence of the Eastern Ourthe (whose source is near the village of Ourthe in the town of Gouvy) and the Western Ourthe (whose source is near the village of Ourthe on the commune of Libramont-Chevigny), both in the province of Luxembourg in Belgium.
