Cultural and Natural Treasures

Wanze, Huy and the Ardennes region offer numerous attractions, such as the Collégiale Notre-Dame, the famous Fort of Huy, the castles of Jehay and Modave, and e.g. the ruins of the Moha castle. Namur is also worth a visit. Huy is known for its challenging climbing walls, but for outdoor enthusiasts, there are also more accessible options for hiking, cycling, or kayaking in the beautiful nature. Wanze has a golf club, and for culture lovers, there are many charming towns with their own unique history.
