Spa-Géronstère Railway Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The euregioAIXpress is a German-Belgian train connection between Aachen and Spa on the Liège–Aachen (line 37) and Verviers–Spa (line 44) railway lines. The name part AIXpress (pronounced like Express) comes from a pun on the name Aachens (French Aix-la-Chapelle) and the word "Express". In Germany, the regional express line is called RE 29 for short, in Belgium the line is called L09.
When the timetable changed in December 2014, the services of the euregioAIXpress were relocated from Pepinster station to the Verviers–Spa line (line 44) to Spa-Géronstère and increased to an hourly service.

This former railway line takes you comfortably to Spa and also without car traffic. It connects the towns of Spa with Stavelot.

Col du Rosier East Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The east side of the ascent of the Rosier is known as the variant. It is the shortest of the three, but the most intense. The climb starts in the beautiful town of Ruy, quietly located far away from the crowds. The start is very easy to find, follow the signs Spa/Andrimont.

Immediately after the start, the most difficult part of the ascent begins. At the bottom, the climb taps serious percentages. At the beautiful Gîte de Chevrouheid, children often play in a river when the weather is warm. You are free to turn around at the top to go under as well. Fortunately, you drive here through a beautiful forest that provides some extra cooling.

If the road goes to the left it gets a lot easier. Take a good rest here, because as soon as you reach the first houses of the village of Andrimont, the percentages go up again. Winding through the village you can make up the intermediate score. You are only two kilometers on the road and you still have half of it. If you're already having a hard time, the road is still long.

And that second half consists of a very long, slightly ascending road. You feel it is almost nothing, but you still climb around 5% here. After a lot of raking you finally reach the T-junction where the easy long runner Le Rosier from La Gleize comes out on the left and the aesthetic Le Rosier from Spa on the right.

Géronstère Mineral Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "Géronstère" spring is the most famous mineral water spring in the countryside around Spa. Even Tsar Peter the Great went to the spring because he believed the water would heal his fever attacks.

Right next to the spring there is also a cozy inn today.
