Amel/Amblève

Highlight • River

The Amel is a tributary of the Ourthe in East Belgium. Its source is located near Honsfeld in the Belgian Eifel, on the border between the municipalities Amel and Büllingen. The name of the river is Celtic and means water.

Wooden bridge over the Amel River

Highlight • Bridge

Between Ligneuville and Montenau, on the hills to the left and right of the Amel, there is a magnificent mountain bike area.

The Amel - the name means pure water in Celtic - splashes quietly and can be crossed here with the help of a bridge.

Since the bridge is not in the best condition, it is better to push your bike.

Always listening to the murmur of the brook, we walk leisurely along the banks of the Amel.

Root path along the Amel

Highlight • Trail

Adventurous section. When it is wet, caution is advisable here, as the roots can then be very slippery.
