Capturing authentic and sometimes unexpected fragments of the Ardennes

All my contributions

A fairly technical route that takes us from the banks of the Meuse to the summits of the surrounding ridges.

Loop around Freÿr Castle

Route description

This 15km loop crosses a succession of Mosan landscapes between the banks of the Meuse, cliffs and wooded ridges.

The first half of the route follows the river on a flat stretch, offering superb views of Freÿr Castle and the surrounding rock formations.

Further on, the path climbs towards the heights, joining the ridges overlooking the valley. The terrain then becomes more hilly, alternating between forested passages, open viewpoints and quieter sections in the undergrowth.

Departure and start of the hike

The starting point is Anseremme, on the banks of the Meuse. The route begins along a path following the right bank, as close as possible to the river. The atmosphere is peaceful, punctuated by reflections on the water and the first glimpses of Freÿr Castle.
