Hiking

The "Giant's Tomb" is a river loop that flows around a hill that, according to legend, is the grave of a giant. A wonderful viewpoint that you will experience on this hike. From Paliseul, the route goes straight over wooded hilltops towards the valley of the Semois River, where you can see the giant's grave.

You continue to follow the river loop towards Bouillon and can always catch a glimpse of the river with its wooded banks. The Cordemois Abbey is also right on the way, where the Cistercian sisters will be happy to welcome you as a guest. After just under 20 kilometers, you have reached your destination, Bouillon.

Tombeau du Géant viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Belgian Ardennes! According to legend, a giant is buried here who, after losing a battle against the Romans, refused to be taken prisoner and preferred to throw himself into the void rather than die in the arenas of the Colosseum.

Stunning area. On a sky blue day it is an idyllic place to hang out and walk the river banks all the way into Bouillon.

The Trappist Abbey of Clairefontaine-Cordemois is located very close to Bouillon, but isolated in the heart of a magnificent natural landscape. The sisters of the abbey (Cistercian) welcome you in an isolated house with park and garden for a quiet retreat or a moment of rejuvenation.
