🏰 The Hidden Waterfall Castle: Winter Adventure at Reinhardstein
Gare Central, Brussels, rue Ravenstein 68, Brussels, BEJoin us for a trip to one of Belgium’s most dramatic "secret" spots! Often compared to a Game of Thrones location, Reinhardstein Castle sits on a jagged rock deep in the Warche Valley.
Since it’s the first weekend of February, we are aiming for that moody, atmospheric winter vibe. We’ll explore the medieval fortress, see Belgium’s highest waterfall (60m!), and warm up afterwards with some local food.
Here is what to expect:- 🌲 The Hike: A short but steep descent through the forest to reach the castle gates.
- 🏰 The Tour: A guided visit inside the fortress (Armour, tapestries, and medieval history).
- 💧 The Waterfall: A walk to the base of the cascade which might be frozen or flowing heavy with winter rain.
- 🥞 Post-Hike Warm Up: Since it is Chandeleur (Pancake) weekend, we’ll stop at a local tavern nearby for crêpes, waffles, or a hot drink before heading back!
