Former Buret Railway Station

Highlight • Structure

Line 163 is a Belgian railway line, also called the crest line (it partly follows the water separation limit between the Meuse and Rhine basins), connects Libramont to Gouvy and Saint-Vith via Bastogne. It is currently closed and out of service (the track was always laid between Libramont and the entrance to Bastogne station, until the early 2010s). In 2017, a “pre-Ravel”, which can be walked and cycled, was set up between Libramont and Wideumont.
It is a secondary line, which serves few important localities, beyond the four mentioned above. The Bastogne - Gouvy section particularly avoids the localities of the region crossed, with a few exceptions.

Moulin de Bistain

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Surrounded by impressive rocks, this old mill nestles in the eastern Ourthe valley. A nice stop to stop off on a mountain bike tour through the high Ardennes.

Houffalize World Cup Circuit

Highlight • MTB Park

Route made for the world cup in Houffalize. Possible for everyone, but be prepared to walk certain segments uphill and even downhill if your technical skill set is insufficient.

For the downhills: When in doubt just walk. These sections need to be taken with a certain minimal speed. At very slow speeds it will not be possible.

For the uphills: There are a couple very steep uphills immediatly after a u-turn of a technical decent. Be prepared to shift down, put your nose at your stem, the point of your saddle in a not so comfortable location and start putting the power down.

Have fun at this ±3km track and keep in mind the pro's do this about 10 times.
