Traveling without a car - From Aarlen to Libramont

Between Gaume, lakes, and forests
We present you with a car-free stay in the province of Luxembourg, the largest of the kingdom, but also the least populated. It is also the greenest province of Belgium, with 96% of the territory covered with forests and agricultural land!
You start your journey in Arlon, the capital of the province. The city has a history of more than 2000 years and is among the three oldest in Belgium. This privileged location owes its status to a strategic position at the crossroads of two important Roman roads: the road from Reims to Trier and that from Metz to Tongeren. Today, its identity is confirmed by the presence of the Archaeological Museum, the discovery of two Roman towers (Neptune and Jupiter), and the annual organization of a Gallo-Roman weekend.
After taking the train from Arlon to Marbehan, you will discover Gaume, a region known for its sausage and pâté gaumais, its rolling landscapes, and its yellow stones. Belgian Lorraine is bordered to the north by the Ardennes, to the east by the land of Arlon, to the south by French Lorraine, and to the west by the French region of Champagne-Ardenne. This small part of Belgium also has the peculiarity of looking quite southern.
Then, you head towards Neufchâteau and its surroundings, at the edge of the Anlier Forest, which, with its 7,000 hectares, forms the largest beech forest in Belgium. This area is a true nature destination for all types of walkers. Lake Neufchâteau is a nice relaxation spot in unspoiled nature. You then go to Libramont, which owes its international fame to its agricultural fair. This takes place during the last weekend of July and attracts more than 160,000 visitors. Libramont also represents a modern center, 28 typical Ardennes villages and hamlets, horizon-reaching landscapes, forests... The Sûre, the Vierre, the Lesse, the Lomme, and the western Ourthe all have their source here. There is clearly no shortage of waterways!
