Barvaux-sur-Ourthe
Things To Do
The Labyrinthus theme park is a undoubtedly the main tourist attraction in Barvaux-sur-Ourthe. It’s an enormous, eight hectare maze with a difference – there are puzzles to solve, games to play, characters to meet and scenes to watch, so it’s great fun to get lost in! Each year the park is renovated to create a new maze and a new theme to go with it. Past themes have included Ancient Egypt, Alice in Wonderland and Pinocchio. There’s also a labyrinth for small children and a maze of wooden doors and secret passageways. With a gift shop, restaurant and free parking, it’s perfect for a family day out.
Other recreational activities in the area include the golf course. The Blue Green Golf Club is just outside nearby Durbuy. It’s a beautifully designed 18-hole course with deep hollows, wooded slopes and pristine greens. It’s open to members of the public and equipment and buggy rental is available. It also has a putting green, driving range, clubhouse and shop.
Durbuy itself is well worth a visit. Deep in the Ourthe Valley, it’s a small town with a population of only 500, and it’s one of the prettiest towns in the whole of the Ardennes region. It’s great for walking and cycling and some of the views from the hills overlooking the village are quite spectacular, especially from the magnificent 17th century cliff-top château.
Some other interesting attractions in Durbuy are the Topiary Park of neatly manicured hedges and shrubs fashioned into weird and wonderful shapes, and the jam factory, Confiturerie St Amour, where visitors can watch jam being made and can purchase various products direct from the factory shop.
