Top 10 Ancient Ruins in The Ardennes, Wallonia

June 10, 2021 Darleen Reid

A smorgasbord of flavors come from this lofty land in the hilly southeast of Belgium: game, wild boar, venison, smoked ham, the region's famous paté and world-renowned Trappist beers. Primarily located in Belgium, the Ardennes mountains also nudge into France and Luxembourg. Dense forests flank the steep hillsides, and market towns and villages perch on river banks. Spring and summer show this lush area at its best, but cross country skiing opportunities make a good case for winter visits.

We started the day with this nice tour around the hills. It is really clean, sign are clear and the cave are nice surprises. Strongly recommended with kids with the lamp of your mobile. Explore them. Nice bar in the middle of the way where you meet the kayakistes.

Orval Abbey

Reviewed By Robert170879 - Remich, Luxembourg

I love Orval beer and visited the abbey many times as solo or with friends as well. It is always a pleasant way to kill some time, like an hour and a half. Afterwards, in the vicinity, you can get some crispy or old beers. In the abbey you can learn on brewing process and history as well. The scene is nice and not too stuffed with tons of information but also you get the basics you need. To visit the new monastery there are only 2 possibilities in each year I think, and the brewery itself also. So what you can see are the ruins of the old monastery and some gardens, exhibition rooms etc... Once I'll sign up for the visit of the operating part.

Chateau de Franchimont

Reviewed By MeldrewVictor

We were on a walking holiday and walked past the castle. We stopped to look round and it was well worth it. An excellent English leaflet (didn't bother with the audio guide) and a great castle to explore. We were going to go to the restaurant opposite but it was booked out and looked expensive anyway so we carried on for a mile to Theux where there are plenty of options
