Description
Between Gaume, its lakes and forests
Our car free itinerary in the Belgian province called Luxembourg (the largest one) is also
the least populated. It is also the greenest region with around 96% of its land taken up with
forests and fields.
You start the journey in Arlon, the region’s capital, one of Belgium’s three oldest cities
spanning
over 2000 years of history. It sits in a strategic position at the crossroads of two
important roman roads: the road from Reims to Trier and the road from Metz to Tongeren.
Today the town is best known for its Archeological Museum, its Roman remains and the
annual Gallo Roman weekend.
After taking the train from Arlon to Marbehan, you will be able to explore the Gaume region,
also famous for its sausage, its Gaume pâté, its hilly landscapes and its yellow stones.
Belgian Lorraine is bounderied to the north by the Ardennes, to the east by the Pays d’Arlon,
to the south by the French region of Lorraine and to the west by the French region of
Champagne-Ardenne. This little corner of Belgium has a uniquely southern air.
Following that, you’ll head for Neufchâteau and its region at the gates of the Anlier Forest.
The lake there is a great place to relax in a protected nature reserve. Onwards to Libramont
where you’ll discover a region with 28 villages and hamlets, a modern centre and stunning
landcsape as far as the eye can see. There is also a famous agricultural fair on the last
weekend
of July, which attracts 160,000 visitors. It’s also a region with numerous river
sources: Sûre, Vierre, Lesse, Lomme and the Western Ourthe…
