Line 38
Connecting the German border to Liège, Line 38 – one of the oldest and most mythical sections of the RAVel – takes you to discover the bocages of Pays de Herve in a bright and verdant setting. There are many view points that allow you to admire and appreciate the landscape.
On departure from Welkenraedt station, you will head towards the L38 starting point. For beer lovers, don’t hesitate to pair your bike ride with a visit to the Grain d’Orge brewery. Continue to Aubel, a village that is known for its syrup and cider. You should then leave L38 for a quick trip to one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia: Clermont-sur-Berwinne.
Next, continue towards Herve and its Espace des Saveurs et Découvertes (House of Tastes and Discovery) (visits are possible). You will gradually leave the bocages of Pays de Herve, joining the "Hasard" slag heaps between Retinne and Micheroux before heading towards Liège.
Eat and drink: There are numerous bars and restaurants in Hombourg, Aubel, Clermont, Herve, and Retinne.
