The itinerary
Start the journey in the village of Gouvy, located the top tip of the great duchy of Luxembourg and set amid forest and rivers. This region will delight nature lovers: there are 11 nature reserves and bird sanctuaries there...
Walking along the GRP 571, after leaving Gouvry, you will quickly reach the Val de Salm. a sub basin for the Amblève river. You will pass through the pretty village of Salmchâteau, which owes its name to the stream crossing it. Then cycle to Saint Vith and The Salm Valley. Discover Vielsalm and its coticule, known for its shaving stones. to which a museum is dedicated. Next is Trois-Ponts and its magnificent viewpoint from its Leroux Tower, 16,665 m high. After Trois-Pont, the Salm reaches the Amblève river.
Walking or cycling, explore this exceptional valley and the magnificent river which takes its source in the Hautes-Fagnes-Eifel nature park and sculpts its way through a valley with abrupt sides. Don't miss the Coo waterfall, the highest natural fall in Belgium - 15 metres high. The Amblève stream still has a few surprises/// such as the Fonds des Quarreux, a purely magic place you will get to after a 1.5 km stroll: rounded rocks which come with a legend.
A little further is another nature gem: the caves of Remouchamps. A boat ride on the longest underground river in Europe... A real splendour before getting to Aywaille, your final destination.
