We set off, but when we had to cross the railway again, the road was closed. There were works on the underpass and the road. A diversion was provided

With the whole family to Herbeumont. Grandson Basiel (4 years old) found it interesting to visit a castle. Granddaughter Billie (2.5 years old) didn't like it as much. In the ruin of the castle of Herbeumont there is plenty of space to walk around.
After the castle, we also visited the village of Herbeumont
