La Roche-en-Ardenne
Historic town · Belgium
A river town wrapped around a bend of the Ourthe, overlooked by the ruins of an 11th-century castle. Roughly half the surrounding 85-square-kilometer municipality is forest, split evenly between conifer and deciduous stands, making the drives out along the Ourthe valley the real draw each fall.
