I started in Stavelot and immediately had to take a break. The vintage cars that arrived at the abbey were just too beautiful to pass by☺️
Overall the trail is like my usual Stavelot hike. It went to the Cascade de Coo, always nice, even if there were many day trippers around. For the most part, I followed the Extratrail …

This was already the second walk during a week in the Ardennes with 3 friends. Also this time we took our Airbnb in Moulin-du-Ruy as a starting point, but unlike the night before we followed the Extratrails route “Rouge Stavelot” (found on Alltrails.com) of no less than 23.5km with 900+ altitude meters. A bit spicy for me, but nothing extreme. …

One of my favorite tours in the Ardennes. Very varied route, which is mainly trail character and offers a few meters in altitude.
The start in Stavelot is a small highlight because of the abbey ruins.
Likewise, of course, the Cascade de Coo. And again and again great views of this wonderful landscape, even in November ..
Have a nice …

Hiked this route and it is truly a beautiful route. Started in La Gleize at the December 44 museum and visited the Circuit museum in Stavelot along the way. I had hesitated about hiking the route the other way around, but I'm glad I didn't. The route turned out to be (in retrospect) the red route of
