EuroVelo 3 Section 2 Herve - Liège

During this stage, RAVeL Line 38 gradually leaves the wooded countryside of Pays de Herve. From the "Hasard" slag heap between Retinne and Micheroux, Line 38 is a true ecological corridor and a green lung for residents as the densification of housing in the Liège urban area increases. The users, who take it for their leisure and tourist travel, now rub shoulders with everyday users who take it to go to work, school or even shopping.

A special feature of this section of Line 38 is the conversion of several former railway heritage stations to new functions: bar/restaurant, function room, bakery/tea room, municipal administrative centre.

A very beautiful view of the impressive Notre-Dame de Chèvremont basilica marks the end of Line 38.

After a short period in car traffic, the Ourthe valley RAVeL calmly leads you to the Cité Ardente (Liège). Its folklore, the warmth of its inhabitants and its lively neighbourhoods day and night make it an essential stage of EuroVelo 3. You will remember its historic heart, its many museums, the district of Carré as well as the hillsides of the Citadel, which offer walkers a vast green space in the heart of the city.
