Dohan (^9)
The road crosses the
river at Dohan, then
provides a series of nota-
ble viewpoints. The
first of these is near the
riverside rocks of the
Rocher de Dampiry.
Beyond it, the next
point lies where the
river performs a series
of hairpin bends.
Herbeumont 0
A 13th-century castle here commanded a vital
strategic position, with extensive views along the
river, until it was wrecked by the French in 1657.
The castle is under restoration.
Florenville w
A down-to-earth market town, Florenville
offers good views of the river from beside
the church and, in July and August, from the
belvedere at the top of the church tower.
Chassepierre q
At the eastern end of the tour,
the landscape levels out, but
the river still meanders.
Chassepierre, with its ruined
mill and 1702 church, has
unusually pictur-
esque charm.
