De Ciney à Régissa (Huy)

On the Line 126 RAVeL

Family

35,5 km

From Ciney, a small town once fortified and known throughout the world thanks to an abbey beer that bears its name, you take the Line 126 RAVeL through the Condroz.

You leave the Château de Fontaine behind you before crossing Emptinne. Here you are at the heart of the ‘valley of flavours’, where cyclists are welcomed by establishments displaying the ‘Bikes Welcome’ label.

In Hamois you can admire the Château Pickeim and the Château de Buresse. From Havelange, you cross grasslands where the famous ‘blanc bleu belge’ (Belgian Blue) cattle are raised.
Throughout your journey you can stop off at old railway stations where interpretative panels in the form of old train seats immerse you in the history of the region’s railway.
You carry on through the typical Condroz villages of Clavier, Modave and Pont de Bonne. You wander through small woods, fields of crops and grazing land in the pastoral Hoyoux valley. Seated on your trusty two-wheeled steed, you reach Huy, whose military, architectural and craft heritage dates back a thousand years.
