Hiking
On this hike, you follow in the footsteps of the former lords, knights and farmers and discover three castles, three legends and three spectacular viewpoints.
It starts in Yvoir. Opposite the train station, you can get a refreshing drink before you start or stock up on provisions in the village square. Then you set off to explore the ruins of Poilvache Castle.
It continues to one of the most impressive ruins in Belgium: Château Fort de Montaigle. From the defensive wall and the remains of the towers, you have a great view of the Flavion valley and the surrounding landscape.
You then pass through the medieval town of Bouvignes, which is at least as charming as Dinant, the destination of your hike. On the banks of the Meuse, you can marvel at the spectacular backdrop of water, rock and collegiate church before walking to the train station.
Tip: You can find accommodation along the route in Dinant, Anhée, Falaen, Weillen and Sommière.
