About the GR57 Trail
The GR57 hiking trail (other known as “Vallée de l’Ourthe et Sentier du Nord“) is a long-distance hiking trail that crosses Belgium and Luxembourg. This trail follows the river of Ourthe along the valley, which means that it crosses many hills, forests, streams, and meadows. It’s considered a fairly simple thru-hike and can also be completed in sections because it’s located close to the railway network. The GR57 trail is so popular because it allows you to experience the best of the Ardennes Forest, and it’s very well-waymarked.
