De Bastogne à Wiltz (L)

On the Line 164 RAVeL

Family

19 km

This superb trip starting in Bastogne and alternating between woods and meadows, rural areas and deep valleys invites you to make your way along the Wiltz, a water course with a variety of faces, now wild torrent, now quieter river with a multitude of small bridges and wooden walkways.

The four illuminated tunnels along the old railway line make this an unusual route. You leave Belgium after nine kilometres at Benonchamps and enter the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg where you continue along the Wiltz cycle path (PC 20) for ten kilometres to your destination at an altitude of 318 metres.
