Rock Garden Trail (Parc naturel des deux Ourthes)

Highlight • Trail

There are 2 places to go, the easiest, to be guided by the fault in the rock, and especially not to touch the front brake. Then you have to have confidence in yourself and your bike

Forest trail in Parc naturel des deux Ourthes

Highlight • Trail

Pleasant, not too technical descent. Be careful on the road for cars coming down.
