About VISITWallonia
Bonjour Wallonie!
In der Wallonie im französischsprachigen Süden Belgiens begegnen sich Natur, Kultur und Savoir-vivre, und die Vielfalt an schönen und interessanten Ausflugszielen ist groß. Freizeitsportler:innen und Erholungssuchende finden in den vielen einzigartigen und oft noch unberührten Naturlandschaften der Region ihr Glück. Ausgedehnte Wälder, Hochmoore, wie das einzigartige Hohe Venn, malerische Flusslandschaften und Seengebiete, laden zum Wandern, Radfahren oder Mountainbiking ein. Unterwegs in den belgischen Ardennen trifft man auf romantische Schlösser, Burgen und Abteien. Am Wegesrand warten charmante Städte und verträumte Dörfer, und unzählig viele gemütliche Cafés und Restaurants laden dazu ein, die Köstlichkeiten der wallonischen Küche zu entdecken, die so bunt und abwechslungsreich wie die ganze Wallonie daherkommt. Zum perfekten Wanderglück in den Ardennen gehört etwa das Picknick mit Ardenner Schinken oder Herver Käse und die Einkehr mit belgischen Fritten und Abteibier oder einer guten Lütticher Waffel zum Nachtisch. Wir wünschen viel Vergnügen an den Flüssen Amblève, Warche, Ourthe, Lesse oder Semois und schon mal Santé & Bon Appétit!

A highlight of the stage is definitely the Abbey of Orval. It's one of the six Trappist abbeys in Belgium…

Part of my route today even ran along one of these RAVeL paths, and to be honest: that's no longer cycling, that's flying! 🐥
I reached Bastogne just in time for my second breakfast. This is…

But my route is probably the opposite of that, and that's a…

Second difference: There are quite a lot of mountains!!!! 😍🥵 (Well, well... "mountains" of course . 😉)

Relaxed stroll through the Sunday market in Aubel, after lunch gondola again on the Ligne 38 railway line and to the finale on the border triangle 😅. And then off to Aachen to the train station.

Second day of the bicycle press trip in the Herver Land between Aachen and Liège. Motto: delicious. From the raw milk cheese dairy to the juice and cider press and lunch break in the former train station in Herve. Via the beautiful L38 railway path with a detour to the beautiful village of Clermont-sur…

Hey, the Ardennes, so beautiful! In Houffalize, we stopped by at the already deserted start of the Chouffe Classics. Then climbed onto a railway line and on line 613 and 163 to Bastogne - mostly only with a slight incline. Discovered a nice café at the RAVeL, ignored a detour, cycled through heavy downpours…

The sixth day and last day of my gravel bikepacking tour in the Ardennes! Although the word "Gravel" should actually be put in quotation marks in this case: On the one hand, the route today led over a RAVeL for a relatively long time, and on the other hand, I was maybe a bit lazy at the beginning of…
