RAVeL Line 156 has some pleasant surprises in store : forests, bocages, the Fagnes or fens, an open-air museum, the castle of the Princes of Chimay, a pretty tourist train in three valleys, a river, nature reserves and, of course, gourmet and brewing specialities in which this region abounds. Just the place for pleasant, unforgettable outings with friends.
Here we suggest two stages which do not follow one after another but which can be combined :
1. Line 156 between Momignies, Chimay and Mariembourg industrial zone (N5).
2. Line 156 between Mariembourg and Hastière.
The missing stretch between the industrial zone (N5) and the station of Mariembourg will be laid out in the short term.
Between an arboretum, an abbey and a world famous principality, a leading bird sanctuary, a chronicler, a blockbuster and more.
The Botte du Hainaut region may seem somewhat elusive.
This short trip is marked by the seal of the Belle Epoque railway line. It was all established in the 19th century to open up this region at the heart of renowned industrial areas. Between Lille and Thionville, between Charleroi and northern France, everything contributed towards making this region and this line a driving force, a focal point.
Since then, the railway has handed its tracks over to rail tourism, nature lovers and RAVeL users… And that’s great for us!
