River Maas | Maastricht - Sedan

Individual journey to Maastricht (NL) or 's Gravenvoeren (B).

efore you start your short stage to Liège, we recommend a stroll through the garden of the estate, which is well worth seeing. Here the Cramignon ferry crosses to the Walloon village of Lanaye in the French-speaking part of Belgium. Now follow the RAVeL1 via Visé to the Belgian metropolis of Liège. Once in Liège, take a stroll through the city centre and marvel at the historical heritage and sights of this major Belgian city.

In the morning your bike tour starts from Liège to Namur. First of all, you will pass through the industrial outskirts of Liège with its impressive industrial monuments. A detour to the crystal factory 'Val Saint Lambert' in Seraing is recommended; a 'must' on this day! You continue cycling along a varied route through the glacial valley of the Meuse. A lunch break in the cosy little town of Huy is well worthwhile. The route continues directly along the banks of the Meuse to Namur.

In the morning, guided tour of the city centre of Namur. Today's stage runs from Namur to Dinant directly along the banks of the Meuse. You will follow the RAVeL2 through an interesting river landscape. Today it is worth taking a detour to the unique landscape gardens in Annevoie. Your destination for the day is the lively tourist town of Dinant, which awaits you for a stroll through the city.

On the route from Dinant to 'La douce France', you cycle partly on the well paved cycle path along the banks of the Meuse and then on an old railway line that has been converted into a cycle path. On the way you have the opportunity to visit the castle 'Freyr' (the 'Versailles of the North'). From Givet (lunch break!) the cycle tour leads through France on the 'Voie Verte Trans-Ardennes'. Enjoy the ride through the French Maas Valley!

Genießen Sie weiterhin Radfreuden pur. Eine gemächliche Tour führt Sie auf der ‘Voie Verte Trans-Ardennes’, weiter durch das Maastal, vorbei an verträumte Dörfer. Im lebendigen Städtchen Monthermé lohnt eine Mittagspause. In der Doppel-Stadt Charleville Mézières angekommen machen Sie einen Bummel durch die Altstadt und bestaunen Sie den zentralen Platz ‘Place Ducale’. Sie übernachten etwas außen Charleville Mézières in Villers-Semeuse.

In September 2015, the new extension of the “Voie Verte Trans-Ardennes” was opened along the Maas to just beyond the town of Sedan. The city is famous for perhaps the largest and most impressive castle in Europe. Look forward to a picturesque final stage after the destination of this unique cycling trip.

In the afternoon, return to Maastricht by coach (your bikes and luggage will be transported with you). Upon arrival in Maastricht (around 5 pm) individual departure or extension.
