The best MTB trails around Dinant

Beautiful historic city center of this "smallest town." It's best to visit during quieter periods, otherwise it can get very crowded.

The smallest town in the world.

The Anseremme marina is nestled in the idyllic setting of the Darse d'Anseremme district. The club, located at 60 Avenue Amande de Mendieta in Anseremme, is the ideal location for boating enthusiasts and anyone who wants to enjoy the region's natural beauty.

I passed through there a long time ago and it wasn't lit, which scared the young children present. This tunnel is quite long, without lighting in the middle it's really dark. However, I have seen photos where lighting can be seen. It's a good thing if it is well maintained and lit 24/7.

very nice center

Always worth reading. You're sure to learn something. The information is in French and Dutch.

Durbuy is certainly an old town. It was first mentioned in 1078 (as Dolbui) and in 1084 under its current name. In 1240, Durbuy was referred to as Durboius. The Celtic word 'Duron,' hidden in Durbuy, is interpreted as "fortress" in the town's context, and thus has the same root as the words deur (here also meaning gate) and door (door) in English. It's not the smallest town in the world. Nor is it the smallest town in Belgium, to elaborate on other comments. That honor goes to Mesen in West Flanders. In this neighborhood, you'll find a wealth of heritage from the oldest part of the town. This includes the castle (an older one stood there much earlier), some remains of the ramparts (see also the well and old walls), the remains of the monastery, the church (which was previously the monastery church), the corn exchange, and so on. In fact, the center of Durbuy itself is so small that almost everything is old. Durbuy received city rights in 1331 and was then also surrounded by walls (with several towers, as in any walled city). Also, take a walk to the information board at the remains of the well opposite the Anticline. On this board (titled "Le Rempart" – see photos), you'll read that you are now standing in front of a short section of the base of the ring wall and the top of the well that once supplied the walled city with water. There was once a tower here, the Medardus Tower, of which, unfortunately, no trace remains. Quite a few dolmens and megalithic stones have been discovered around Durbuy. But for those, you have to go to districts like Wéris. Roman and older remains are also plentiful.

Ruins of Montaigle © Aurélie Ducroze Montaigle, an exceptional monumental site in Wallonia, is situated on a rocky spur in a romantic setting whose magic transports you back to the time of the knights. A visit to the ruins of this imposing fortress, once a count's residence (14th century), and to the archaeological museum will open a window onto an extraordinarily rich medieval world. In the 100 m² museum, the history of the site and the monument is told through a thematic and chronological exhibition of objects discovered on site (crossbow bolts, cannonballs, tools, pieces of crockery, medals, coins, stained glass, paving stones, slates, jewelry, etc.). The architecture of the fortress and the challenges of saving a threatened monument are also discussed.
