Maredsous Abbey is a Benedictine monastery located in Maredsous, in the town of Anhée, in the province of Namur (Belgium).
If some Maredsous cheeses are really matured in the cheese dairy of the monastery itself, the beer called “Maredsous beer” is not brewed at the monastery, the abbey having entrusted the production and marketing to the Duvel Moortgat brewery located in the Region. Flemish.

Picnic Area Along the Molignée Valley Rail Trail

Highlight • Rest Area

Line 150 is being built by the Belgian State Railways to link the lower Sambre to the French Ardennes: two industrial basins connected by waterway but for which the rail represents a significant acceleration.
The Ermeton-sur-Biert - Anhée section (at the gates of Dinant) is also called "Ligne de la Molignée", from the name of the river whose valley it follows. The line has a second section between Jemelle and Dinant. This second section - also called "Line of the Lesse" - is also referenced under line number 152 at the time of the Belgian State company. If the two sections have the same name, it is because initially it was a single line, integrating the Dinant - Houyet junction. The development of the two sections will however be relatively independent. Since the closure of the Jemelle - Houyet section, the remaining section (Houyet - Dinant) has been administratively integrated into line 166.
