La Roche-en-Ardenne Castle and Old Town

Highlight • Castle

La Roche-en-Ardenne is called the pearl of the Ardennes. Its castle, its narrow streets, its numerous squares on the banks of the Ourthe explain this success.
The very popular Place du Bronze and the Place du Marché are worth a visit in themselves. You can have a coffee or a meal there.

The Col d'Haussire, located two pedal strokes from the town, is considered one of the most difficult passes in Belgium.

What a wonderful ride.
Thanks to komoot I rode on beautiful back roads. In other words, beautiful surroundings, the road surface itself here and there required me to descend almost as slowly as I cycled up. The photo still shows above-average quality.


All in all, a nice set of elevation meters and therefore also a good training.
