The hilly landscape of Explore Meuse consists of cliffs and rocks and crosses through the Meuse valley. An excellent base for a multitude of activities in the great outdoors. Get on your mountain bike and set off over the mountains and in the valleys. Would you rather explore at a more leisurely and peaceful pace? Then opt for an electric bicycle and adjust the gears depending on the level of effort you want to put in. Throughout the region, there are more than 2,000km of signposted trails. Whilst in the countryside, you can admire beautiful fortresses and castles. Lace up your hiking boots and follow the signposted paths into the country or along the Meuse River. Would you like to explore our region at the gateway to the Ardennes in a slightly different way? Then choose a ride on a tuk-tuk, electric scooter or packraft. Explore Meuse, immerse yourself in the destination.

On foot

Do you prefer the city or the countryside?

Alone or with a guide?

All tastes are catered for in the heart of nature.

In the countryside: marked trails through woods and meadows, valleys with small rivers that disappear into the wild vegetation, cows lazily looking at you while peacefully grazing, a squirrel that appears out of nowhere, vistas that reveal the splendour of our region, villages that are part of the “Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia”, that’s what we can offer you on more than 2,000 km of walking trails. These boots are made for walking!
In the city: themed visits, sometimes food based, often historical, but always full of discoveries! Take a walk along the Meuse or a guided tour to discover hidden gems in the cities of Namur and Dinant.
