Confluence of the Ourthe and the Meuse

Highlight • River

The confluence of the Ourthe and the Meuse is a scenic spot in the Belgian city of Liège, where the two rivers meet and merge. The Ourthe is a tributary of the Meuse that originates from the union of two branches, the Western Ourthe and the Eastern Ourthe, in the Ardennes region. The Ourthe flows through picturesque towns such as La Roche-en-Ardenne, Hotton and Durbuy, before joining the Meuse near the Angleur district of Liège.

The confluence of the Ourthe and the Meuse is also a historical site, as it was here that the Battle of Liège took place in 1914, during the First World War. The Belgian army defended the city against the German invasion, using a ring of 12 forts around Liège. The forts were bombarded by heavy artillery and eventually surrendered, but the resistance of the Belgians delayed the German advance and allowed the French and British troops to mobilize.

La Boverie Museum, Liège

Highlight • Monument

The artistic project of La Boverie offers both a program of international exhibitions and a new framework for the permanent collections of the City of Liège.

The basement of the building houses the best collections of Fine Arts of the City of Liège: Lambert Lombard, Gérard de Lairesse, Ingres, Gauguin, Chagall, Picasso, Evenepoel, Delvaux, Magritte and others, testifying to the modernity of art in all periods, from the Renaissance to the present day. The course, accessible to as many people as possible, is accompanied by interactive didactic support in four languages. Several works are classified as "treasures" of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

On the first floor, temporary exhibitions take place over approximately 3000 m. These exhibitions are organized by the City of Liège. Some of them collaborate with the Louvre.

Albert Canal Riverside Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A lovely cycle path runs along the Albert Canal. Some sections have quite a few potholes, so be careful. Otherwise, enjoy the surrounding industrial character!

Lanaye Lock

Highlight • Monument

From fort Eben Emael you can see how big this lock of Klein Ternaaien actually is. There are many cycling routes that pass here, towards Visé and also on the other side along the Albert canal to Kanne.

Albert Canal Towpath at Kanne

Highlight • Cycleway

You arrive at a towpath along the Albert Canal, nice view to the steep rock wall in which a bunker has been made that is part of the fortress Eben-Emael. You imagine yourself somewhere in the south of France, although you are in Belgium but you are only 5 km from Maastricht, very nice bike ride.

Vroenhoven Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Bridge of Vroenhoven is a museum in the Belgian town of Vroenhoven. The museum traces the history of the bridge during the early days of the Second World War, including the experiences of the soldiers in the bunker at the bridge over the Albert Canal and the attack of the Belgian airmen, seven of whom were killed during an attack on the bridge . It was a phase in the capture of the nearby fortress of Eben-Emael.

Attention is also paid to inland shipping, the canals and the life of animals and plants in them. In addition to a cafeteria, there is a meeting or event room for 150 to 1500 people and an open-air auditorium.
