Wanting to avoid the main road in Visé I did this segment by road bike (32mm tires) but I can not really recommend it.

The entrance to the Julienne forest offers an exciting start for mountain bikers, with narrow paths that immediately wind into the dense greenery. A varied course full of challenging bends, short climbs and technical sections through the forest awaits you here.

Blegny Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

Located between Liège and Maastricht, Blegny-Mine is one of the four authentic coal mines in Europe with underground galleries accessible for the visitors through the original shaft. Equipped with a jacket and a helmet, take the mining cage down to the galleries located - 30 and - 60 metres below the ground level to understand how coal was extracted.

Find out all about the fascinating lives of the miners and their tough working conditions. See the technical equipment underground, the coal, the noisy machinery, ...

The visit continues with the wash and sorting installations, from the arrival until transport and sale of the coal.

Blegny-Mine and the 3 others major mining sites of Wallonia (Bois du Cazier, Bois-du-Luc and Grand-Hornu) are recognized since July 2012 as the Unesco World Heritage.
