Circuit de la Thudinie
Description
A very varied route via Lobbes, Fontaine-Valmont, Leers-et-Fosteau, Ragnies and Thuin through their historic sites, wooded and rustic landscapes and flowery riverbanks. Walk near the Saint-Ursmer collegiate church, the oldest church in Belgium with its Romanesque crypt. The Fosteau château will take you back to the 14th century with its majestic setting and French-style gardens on successive terraces down to the lake. At Ragnies, listed as one of the ‘Most Beautiful Villages in Wallonia’, the atmosphere is bucolic with the Mediaeval Chêne farm, the Biercée distillery which is the only unprocessed fruit distillery in the country, etc. If you feel like it, do a little shopping for local produce in the shops on Rue ‘t Serstevens in Thuin.
