Dinant Travel Blogs

And now onto Dinant.... I bought a return ticket from the train counter at Bruxelles, I felt so good asking for un aller-retour after having just read it and seen it on movies for days! The train ride was nice, not spectacular. The last time I took the train was through the Lake District in the UK…

It was a wonderful day and my friend Christian had promised Kaija that he would join her for a canoe ride on the rivers close to Dinant. The basic route was 22 km ride and it would take them 3 hours at least. I on the other side don’t like water activities so I had planned to drive around in the …

Day 18: Beatrix - Dinant 83 kms   During this day we cycled from Beatrix to Dinant, both cities in Belgium. We were still in the Ardennes, so there were still hills to climb. Just like the day after Cluny we cycled on an old railroad. At a certain moment we were a bit lost and luckily an…

Dinant could be decribed as a miniature version of Namur, the two towns lie close together and both are situated along the Meuse, they even both have an imposing citadel overlooking the town.

The site has such good natural def…

 I have had a fairly quiet month so there was not much to tell. Spring is finally here and it is great to see the change of season. It went from below freezing to 18° in a couple of days, that was quite a shock to all as it is usually a much more gradual change. Jade victoire and I wet outsid…

I wanted to show my friend Bo some of the more unusual part of Belgium; well for Belgians they are well known as some of the more famous spots where you go and relax. Dinant is such a place; every time the sun is shining hundreds of bikers make the roads in the area full. In Dinant itself it can be…

We waren niet al te ver meer van de belgische grens verwijderd en al gauw waren we dus weer terug in Belgenland op weg naar Dinant. Hier wilden we de nacht doorbrengen, en we konden al terecht bij het eerste het beste hotel. Gauw brachten we onze spullen naar boven en daarna ging het weer naar bene…

In 1994 my father and I wanted to make a cycling trip to Lourdes. We were followed by a mini-van with all our luggage driven by a family friend. I'm really sorry I don't have any pic for this moment, hope to fix something later!

This all started when I decided to go for the beer truck festival in Romedenne. Since I was heading off to Wallonia, I decided to see as many places as possible. So after a bit of googling I came up with the Falaen, Soulme, Crupet and Celles. These villages are amongst the most beautiful villages i…
