Day and Night in Durbuy - Millennial village - Belgium and its thousand-year-old land
Hi Steemians!! As promised in my old post on the gnomes stroll (la balade des gnomes), I will make you discover the region of Durbuy.
In the fourteenth century, Durbuy acquired the status of city. But this city has only 400 inhabitants, making it the smallest city in the world. It still has that status today. During the twentieth there was a merger of the municipalities in Belgium. The region encompasses several villages The commune of Durbuy has more than 11000 residents now.
- The castle of Durbuy
- Here is the coat of arms of the city
- This is a panoramic view of the anticline
View Pano In High Resolution
- As you can see in the panoramic photo, at the bottom of the anticlinal there is a water point and an esplanade where performances are played during the summer
- The entrance to the cave under the rock
- This is l'Ourthe. A river of Belgium which borders the castle of durbuy and which crosses all the Ardenne
- You will find in Durbuy many very beautiful buildings
- And beautiful views
- The mini golf course near the topiary park closed during this season with a view on the anticline.
- A stop at the restaurant try a new beer
- A beautiful building in the night this is a gastronomic restaurant
- Durbuy by night
- Thanks for watching ^^
In my next post our walk in the woods of durbuy and the discovery of the menhirs. In Wéris a small village of the commune, the richest megalithic field in Belgium stretches for about 8 kilometers long and 300 meters wide. There are dolmens and menhirs.
Great post. I love this old Belgian villages. Greetz from Eupen area.
Very beautiful.
Thank you :)
@pickoum I miss that place didn't you stroll the city? It's to that alley in front of the huge rock - do you know that you could go up that huge rock?
anyway, I like the pics specially the faucet with a dragon's head you have eyes for details
Thanks @englishtchrivy :) Yes we walked a little bit in the city but after we took the car to discover the surrounding villages and woods. No I did not know it was possible to climb up the rock. I will go next time. About the faucet yes it s a beautiful piece of art but no water when I try to turn it on :( It worked before but now it's just for embellishment.
@pickoum, it is - but there's an easier way, you can drive up to it - it's on the same road as the tower above, we asked the pizza house on the hill that we thought would lead us there, they told us how to or rather - hub as I don't speak French :)
Nice, one place I would like to visit. And have a beer. :-)
Hey @oaldamster ^^ Thank you very much! The beer I tasted was a good one :)
You're welcome @pickoum! :-)
Sante!

Thank you @lordemau ;)
