A walk in Anseremme

de fr

Anseremme is all about the Meuse and the Lesse... whether you choose one or the other, or both, the trip is usually very pleasant. It’s best done at midday on a lovely sunny day when the Lesse isn’t overrun by thousands of kayakers... The route offers some stunning panoramic views from the heights over Pont-à-Lesse and Chaleux, from the banks of the Lesse over Walzin Castle, or across the countryside around Dréhance and Hordenne. The Chawia ravine or gorge is very pretty!
