Discover Pont: Amblève, Trails and Cultural Heritage

Pont lies on the Amblève and brings together riverside scenery, trails and cultural discoveries within a compact area. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Pont can shape their stay around their own interests: the Amblève and its surroundings lend themselves to active days in the countryside, while the chapel, grotto and Maison Micha offer other ways to discover the area’s history and local character.

Exploring the Amblève

One specific way to experience Pont on foot is the MDY 21 La promenade de la truite route. It follows the Amblève through Pont and Ligneuville. This makes the route a worthwhile activity in its own right for travellers who want to take in the river and landscape at a leisurely pace. Around Pont, Ligneuville and Bellevaux, the Amblève flows with lively waters through flowering fields. There, the Amblève Valley lies amid green scenery with wooded hills.

Fishing is also one of the activities available in the surrounding area: in Pont, Ligneuville and Bellevaux, fishing is possible in rivers and ponds. When planning your stay, you can therefore choose between a route by the water and an itinerary focused more on this peaceful pastime. Pont also has a fish farm, adding another local connection to the water and fishing.

Culture and quiet discoveries

The Chapelle Saint-Donat de Pont was built in 1752 and is classified as heritage. It is also dedicated to Saint Hubert. The chapel stands in a protected, peaceful spot in the shade of large trees. During your holiday, it can therefore provide a cultural stop where not only the building itself but also its setting plays a role.

Another place to discover is the Grotte de la Vierge Marie. It is located in a beautiful park near the Eau de Recht. Maison Micha is also a place in Pont that visitors can discover. These destinations give a stay different accents: you can combine a hiking or walking route with cultural impressions, or deliberately spend a day making smaller discoveries.

Which accommodation suits your plans?

When looking for accommodation in Pont, it is worth first deciding on the pace you want. If the MDY 21 route and the landscape along the Amblève are to be the main focus, a holiday apartment in Pont is a natural place to start your search. The route and the landscape along the Amblève provide two different starting points for planning your trip, without limiting your stay to just one type of holiday.
