Dinant Travel Blogs

Background: Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830 and was occupied by Germany during World Wars I and II. It has prospered in the past half century as a modern, technologically advanced European state and member of NATO and the EU. Tensions between the Dutch-speaking Flemings of the north and the French-speaking Walloons of the south have led in recent years to constitutional amendments granting these regions formal recognition and autonomy.

First day

 Europe » Belgium » Namur Province » Dinant
527 miles later and nearly 12 hours of travelling and we arrived at our planned over night stop just south of Namur in Belgium. All went pretty well although a few minor worries with the van!!!! Hopefully she will be ok! Got to the site at just after 9pm and found the reception shut!! Got hold of the man and he told us he was full.....Doh! He recommended another site and we eventually found it after some looking and it is lovely. In the woods with a pitch by the river. Really friendly owners and really tasty beer!!! Looking forward to [View Full Entry]

Adolphe Sax syntyi Dinantissa 1814.
Dinant 5.-6.5. Jatkettiin "etelänlomaa" Dinantin rantabulevardin terassiketjun viimeisellä terassilla - omassa veneessä. Edullinen paikka. Hieno sijainti, rahaa ei käynyt kukaan pyytämässä. Vettä laiturilta. Käytiin Dinantin kirkossa, johon kuulemma oli 1200-luvulla pudonnut jyrkänteeltä pala kalliota ja murskannut alleen kolmisenkymmentä kirkossa kävijää. Kovia oli kirkko kokenut senkin jälkeen. Kaarle Rohkeasta 1400-luvulla (Maksimilian-mainoskatko: Kaarle oli Maksimilianin appi) Saksan joukkoihin 1914 olitiin kirkkoa jyrätty. Jyrkänteen päällä linnoituksella kuultiin, että sijain [View Full Entry]

4.5.2008 Dinant Lähdettiin Namurista puolilta päivin jokea vastavirtaan etelään. Maisemat oli siis nähty jo etukäteen sieltä Namurin linnoitukselta ja hyväksi havaittu, veneeltä ne silti näyttivät vieläkin paremmilta. Erittäin vehreä jokilaakso jyrkkien kallioseinien välissä. Hyvännäköisiä olivat talotkin, mahtaa olla haluttua ja kallista aluetta tai sitten olivat loma-asuntoja kaikki. Kiipeilijöitä näkyi kallioilla välillä. Matkan "koho"kohdat olivat kölin tökähtäminen mutaan Ile d'Yvoirin kohdalla (ajattelimme pysähtyä saareen, mutta eipä syvyys sallinnut) ja Ecluse de Houx, Houxin [View Full Entry]

Allison Sweeney where are you for this reference...Emma lost her fourth tooth this past week and didn't even need to be asked to pose for this precious shot. Something about the book and the day made... [more]
First solo adventure. I was up and we were dressed and packed and ready to go by 9am this morning. Not bad. Took the bus to the train station, where I got a cup of coffee for the road, and bought a 10 ride train pass for 69 euro. It is so much cheaper to travel on the weekends, but I know we will make use of the pass. Caught the 9:33 train to Ottignies, where we would have to change for a train to Dinant, our goal for the day. Oddly the Belgian train web site suggested traveling into Brussels [View Full Entry]

The town
Citadel
Couque dinant

On Sunday we visited the town of Dinant on our way back to Gent. It was another beautiful day, and the view that greeted us when we got off the bus was of the fortified citadel looming overhead. Many of us climbed to the top. The Citadel provided a great view of the city and the bridge below. We took a guided tour of the citadel. It was informative, but a little slow because everything had to be repeated in three languages: French, Dutch, and English. Probably one of the most interesting parts of the tour was when we walked through [View Full Entry]
