Thanks to this bridge, you can cross the Cowan stream without getting your feet wet. The Ruisseau de Cowan is a tributary of the Ourthe, along which a Ravel winds on the old local line towards Houffalize.

October 8, 2023,Round tour from Houffalize Panther

Nice short tour on a beautiful, sunny sunday morning starting at the panther tank 111 in Houffalize (forget about the 'A' starting point, that was by car).

Beautiful walk between viewpoints and rivers in the valley

February 24, 2025,Ruisseau de Cowan en l'Ourthe Orientale - Houffalize 🐾⭐️

Beautiful walk along the Ruisseau de Cowan. We left from the car park at the Vayamundo Ol Fosse holiday centre. We quickly arrived at the Rau de Cowan via the RAVel and followed it further upstream via the path just next to the stream. Very worthwhile... recommended. Then via a loop towards Ourthe Orientale. Here you cross another wild side …

The route is actually slightly shorter. We walked back a bit, because we missed a sign at the main road at the end of the walk.

February 24, 2025,Houffalize en de Ourthe

We left at the parking lot near holiday park Vayamundo ol fosse. After a 5 minute walk you imagine yourself in a fairytale forest. With moments steep climbs or descents but definitely worth it.
