The Meuse by bike, the first long-distance cycling route fully signposted and waymarked in Wallonia, enables you to cover 147 km following one of Europe's most beautiful river valleys. Whether you leave from the French border near Givet or the Dutch border near Maastricht, the rural landscapes you will encounter, created by this majestic river, will take you to explore the magnificent natural and industrial heritage of Wallonia.
As you leave Aix-la-Chapelle/Aachen, the Pilgrims cycling route takes you to Liège, known as the Cité Ardente owing to its warm, lively atmosphere. You soon reach the highly symbolic ‘Trois Frontières’ or ‘Three Borders’ between Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. After about 5 kilometres on the Line 39 RAVeL, you join the Plombières mining site and the Line 38 RAVeL which takes you to discover the bocages of the Pays de Herve region in a bright, green setting.

The EuroVelo 5 route takes you to explore the wealth of the natural, architectural, cultural and brewing heritage of Belgium.
Having left Lille, known as the ‘capital of Flanders’ in France, you follow the rural greenway along the Roubaix canal to enter Belgium. Passing by small locks and drawbridges, accompanied by the lapping water, you will wind your way, sometimes in Wallonia, sometimes in Flanders, along the Espierres canal and then the Scheldt river.
Europe’s craziest border!
The Vennbahn route leads you through superb, undulating landscapes where the gradients are mainly gentler than you may have expected (max. 2%). This is the advantage of travelling safely along the RAVeL made up of the old railway lines No 48 and 47, with their viaducts and tunnels.
