July 2, 2022,Wandeling Bouillon hangbrug - Belvédère

From Bouillon we follow the Semois downstream along a pleasant, flat hiking trail, with views of the monastery of Cordemois.
We add a little climb to the viewpoints L'Epine, des Augustins and Pic de Diable, on the rocky ridge of the Tombeau du Géant.
Thanks to the suspension bridge we get dry feet on the other side of the Semois. …

Pearls of the Semois - Bouillon Day 2/5.

Dawn breaks into our hotel room. Up early, ready to rub our legs. From the buffet area, the 'Belvedere de Bouillon' shines on top of the crest of the ridge. The morning sun reflects invitingly off the eight-story watchtower. A hearty breakfast behind the teeth and ahead with the goat.

Green tour along the winding Ardennes river. Unfortunately, the river crossings shown on the Komoot/OSM map were not passable (they are fords for dry periods), so we had to turn back at the Moulin du Rivage and were at least able to complete the circular tour from the suspension bridge at the Moulin de l'Épine. We invested the 16 EUR …
