Overview

Our adventure begins with an exploration of the Lorette-Rochefort Cave, where ancient geological formations create an otherworldly atmosphere. From there, we ascend to Châteaux Walzin, perched majestically above the scenic River Lesse, offering breathtaking views and a glimpse into the region's noble past. We venture into the charming town of Dinant, where medieval architecture and quaint cobblestone streets lead us on a journey through time. Our exploration of Belgian traditions takes us next to Maison Leffe, where we uncover the secrets behind the brewing process of one of Belgium's most celebrated beers. No visit to Belgium would be complete without a pilgrimage to Chimay Abbey, a serene sanctuary nestled amidst verdant forests and rolling hills. Here, we pause to reflect on the centuries-old traditions of the Trappist monks, whose dedication to prayer and contemplation has shaped the abbey's peaceful ambiance. Private tours can be booked after communication.

    A captivating underground marvel nestled in the picturesque region of Rochefort, Belgium. Carved out over thousands of years by the gentle yet relentless force of water, this natural wonder offers visitors an enchanting journey into the depths of the Earth. Illuminated pathways guide your way through a labyrinth of stalactites and stalagmites, formed over centuries as mineral-rich water dripped from the cave ceiling and solidified upon reaching the floor. Every turn reveals a new marvel of nature's craftsmanship. Cathedral-like chambers adorned with intricate formations create an otherworldly ambiance, while underground rivers and pools glisten in the soft glow of carefully placed lights. One of the most awe-inspiring sights within the Cave of Lorette-Rochefort is the Grand Dome, a vast chamber adorned with towering columns of rock reaching towards the ceiling. Here, you can't help but feel a sense of reverence for the immense power and patience of the natural world.
