To the Ourthe from Bemelen

From Bemelen you pedal clockwise. You first go to Groot-Welsden and Margraten to Banholt and Bergenhuizen. From Noorbeek you go up the Vroelen and then you arrive at the Voerstreek. After the beautiful descent to Sint Martens Voeren, you pedal to the hamlet of Rullen, where the steep climb of the same name awaits you.

Through Saint-Jean Sart and a climb to Bushaye, you arrive at the Abbey of Val Dieu. Nice to take a break there. Then you go up the Holliguette. Once you finish it, the long Côte de Charneux follows. This takes you to a high plateau in Hervé town centre: this means equally busy roads and through the centre.

But then the roads become quieter again and you pass in front of the castle of Boimont in the direction of Olne and you go down into the valley of the Weser (Vesdre). Then follows the beautiful Trasenster Coast. At the top, turn right around the main roads and at the town of Cornemont you will slowly plunge into the Amblève valley. You follow the cycle path along the Amblève near Aywaille, then climb through the ravine of Nierbochera .

Via Rouvreux, you plunge back into the valley of the Amblève, then follow the steep coast of Chambralles. The descent is also steep at times (a road sign says 17%, but it's not that steep). You are then almost at the point where the Amblève River flows into the Ourthe River. You follow the concrete cycle path along the Ourthe to avoid the busy main road of the Ourthedal.

In Comblain-au-Pont, you leave the Ourthe by the climb to the Mont. The descent of this climb is magnificent and up to 10%, followed by an intermediate climb to the Sart. In this hamlet you have a beautiful view of the rocks that border the Ourthedal. After a steep descent, you will arrive at Poulseur where you will follow the cycle path along the Ourthe (note: you must cross the Ourthe). Then you find yourself in the beautiful town of Esneux, where there are plenty of opportunities to eat and drink along the Ourtheboulevard.

This is followed by a climb to Hautgné, and through the rustic village of Hayen, you find yourself on the N674 and the N30, which means busy roads over a distance of 1 kilometre. Then you descend on quiet roads to the Gomze golf course, where you suddenly have to turn left and there is still a 16% waiting wall. After this wall (warning: dangerous crossing!) you descend into the valley of the Vesdre (Weser) and you arrive in Trooz. A sad village, but you quickly leave the busy main road through the valley to climb the beautiful Côte de Fôret .

From top to bottom, it then goes to a ridge where you have to cross a larger agglomeration in the longitudinal direction. However, after a few kilometers, you plunge into the beautiful and quiet land of Hervé to the city of Bolland. You will find the steep Thier Fourage .
And via the beautiful Voerstreek, it goes up and down to the south of Limburg.

In South Limburg you still get the Schelberg, the Kalleberg, the Oerenberg (ticks 13%) and you finish with the beautiful climb along Mergelgroeve 't Rooth.
