Canoeing on the Ourthe River

The pleasure of paddling an exciting river, without the need for difficult technical skills! That’s canoeing on the Ourthe. The river offers a real immersion in nature while the current keeps a lively character. In spring, ice jams and fallen trees may block part of the river, making the descent more adventurous. Canoeing on the Ourthe offers all canoeists exhilarating sensations without great risk. Difficulty WW I / I +.

The Ourthe consists of a set of relatively easy and varied sections. Between Hotton and Durbuy, the river winds widely and calmly through the vast plain of the Famenne. While downstream from Durbuy, the water makes its way between the hills of the Condroz. Canoeing on the Ourthe is a joy for beginning and advanced paddlers. Some technical background is required however since we’re paddling the river in spring with potentially high water levels and sometimes a powerful current.
