Vresse-sur-Semois

I have followed lots of meandering rivers first in France and Luxembourg and now in the Ardennes. Yesterday it was hardwork meanders with lots of climbing up out of the steep sided valleys. Today they seemed to be sending me a crazily long way around a peninsula-like meander. Turns out they had just rebuilt an old railway bridge which was destroyed as the Germans retreated at the end of the war. It allows access to the old railway tunnel through the hill. A short- (and flat-) cut so v nice surprise (and not on my map hence my confusion).

I was also minor rescue service for a family group with a broken chain. Its nice to be useful!Les mer
