No need for steel calves to explore the finest paths of Anthisnes. The Avouerie's FatBikes do the work — you just enjoy the ride. These impressive machines, with their wide tyres and long, comfortable saddles, look more like small motorbikes than bicycles. Safe to say you won't go unnoticed on the rolling country lanes of the region.
But what awaits you is no ordinary outing. Each route comes with a quest. Track down a legendary local brigand, seek out healers and witches to brew a mysterious remedy, or try to save the Avoué — master of Anthisnes Castle — from a most peculiar affliction. History, local legends and breathtaking landscapes combine to make every ride a true adventure.
On request, the Avouerie fills your backpack with everything you need to keep the group going: cured meats, organic cheeses, bread, composed salads and spreads, all paired with craft beers or local juices. All that's left is to find the perfect patch of grass or a charming village square to lay it all out.
And the Avouerie is a place like no other. The castle, built in the 17th century in the Liège Renaissance style, shelters at its heart a medieval keep dating from the 12th century — once home to knights entrusted with protecting the lordship. Ten centuries of history within reach, to explore as a family before or after your ride, through the rooms of the Beer Museum.
