La Roche-en-Ardenne Castle and Old Town

Highlight • Castle

La Roche-en-Ardenne is called the pearl of the Ardennes. Its castle, its narrow streets, its numerous squares on the banks of the Ourthe explain this success.
The very popular Place du Bronze and the Place du Marché are worth a visit in themselves. You can have a coffee or a meal there.

The Col d'Haussire, located two pedal strokes from the town, is considered one of the most difficult passes in Belgium.

Col de Haussire

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Very nice climb. Small, narrow and very peaceful road in a forest environment. Personally, I absolutely do not find this climb to be the most difficult in Belgium. The ascent is even very pleasant, the gradient is reasonable and constant.

View of the rolling fields in Parc naturel des deux Ourthes

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you can enjoy panoramic views over the rolling fields that stretch out like a carpet beneath you. In spring and summer the landscape is particularly lively, with meadows full of flowers and grazing animals. The gentle undulations of the terrain create a picturesque scene.
