Rejoice?
These pictures have been taken along some of the walking trails
alongside the Ourthe, f.e. Mormont, Achouffe and Nadrin.
For
the diehards as for the beginner, walking in the Ardennes is an
adventure. According to one of the Belgian guru, the trail in
Achouffe is "one of the prettiest in the Valley of the
Ourthe". The trail takes you - in total silence - through
the "Valley of the Fairies", amidst hills and woods,
alongside rippling brooks. Kids can build small dams or play in
the water. After the hike, you can relax and enjoy a
"Chouffe" at the bistro of the brewery. It's an
excursion that should be mandatory!

The
Valley of the Ourthe between Houffalize and La Roche is unmistakingly
one of the most beautiful ones of the Ardennes. The Ourthe is between
50 cms and 1m deep and as wide as a couple of meters up to 50 meters.
During the Summer it is difficult not to yield to temptation and walk
into the cristal clear water. Fishes swim away from you, crayfish hide
underneath the rocks.
When
you rent the chalet, you can receive multiple PDF's with marked
walking trails.
And
why not venture into the woods at night during the Winter..... Follow
the green walking trail from our chalet into the woods. Put on some
warm clothes and leave around 11pm. Take the following items with you:
a torch, and lots of ... courage. The moment you enter the woods it
dawns on you: surly silence.... the scream of an owl, the call of a
buzzard. Did you hear branches breaking?.... A bush russling... We bet
that after 500 meters, you will be returning to the safety of the
chalet.
Detailed
maps with marked trails are available in the chalet!
