What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Pont de Durbuy's beautiful curved design and the stunning panoramic views of the Ourthe River and Durbuy castle. It's frequently described as a romantic and picturesque spot, perfect for leisurely walks and photography. Some caution is advised for pet owners due to the river's current.
"Lovely walk across the bridge and down the river. There are steps on the left hand side as your crossed the bridge towards the village. It is a nice walk with your dog but be cautious if your four legged friend loves the water as they might be tempted to jump in the rapid current river. There are some larger green fields. However, there is a National road further up the field so again unless you have really good recall with your dog, keep them on the lead."

"The 165 km Ourthe River which runs in Ardennes flows through Durbuy. The picturesque scenery provides a stunning background for several photography shots in different angles. Therefore, it was romantic to stroll along the Ourthe river or standing on the bridge to admire the breathtaking landscape."
