Rock Garden Trail (Parc naturel des deux Ourthes)

Highlight • Trail

There are 2 places to go, the easiest, to be guided by the fault in the rock, and especially not to touch the front brake. Then you have to have confidence in yourself and your bike

Forest trail in Parc naturel des deux Ourthes

Highlight • Trail

Pleasant, not too technical descent. Be careful on the road for cars coming down.
In the other direction it will be a tough climb, but doable.

Houffalize World Cup Circuit

Highlight • MTB Park

Route made for the world cup in Houffalize. Possible for everyone, but be prepared to walk certain segments uphill and even downhill if your technical skill set is insufficient.

For the downhills: When in doubt just walk. These sections need to be taken with a certain minimal speed. At very slow speeds it will not be possible.

For the uphills: There are a couple very steep uphills immediatly after a u-turn of a technical decent. Be prepared to shift down, put your nose at your stem, the point of your saddle in a not so comfortable location and start putting the power down.

Have fun at this ±3km track and keep in mind the pro's do this about 10 times.

August 17, 2025,Chouffe Mtb Marathon 2025 - Another One Bites The Dust

Just the day before yesterday, I spontaneously decided to participate in the Chouffe MTB Marathon. Especially since it's only an 11-minute drive from our vacation rental.
A very well-organized and thoroughly successful event. 62km long with very long, very steep climbs and descents, and a few short technical sections (S2, one S4).
Unfortunately, I fell on an extremely steep, sandy …
