De Sart-Station (Jalhay) à Stavelot

On the Line 44A pre-RAVeL

Medium

15,5 km

This is just the kind of route we love: interconnection of the Belgian, Luxembourg and ‘Prussian’ networks where the history and nature of the Ardennes are omnipresent. Sports enthusiasts are catered for, too, because this RAVeL runs alongside ‘the world’s most beautiful circuit’ in Francorchamps and crosses one of the biggest hills along the Liège-Bastogne-Liège cycle race.
All to reach Stavelot, former city of the principality, shaped by the Mosan Carnival and the Blancs Moussis, white-caped folkloric characters.
