How many spaces does the car park have?
We have not counted them. Two car parks of 140 and 40 spaces were announced in 2024, but that was a plan, not something we have seen.
To be confirmed· S10
Can you park anywhere else?
According to hikers, parking elsewhere is not allowed: only the designated car park is provided. We have not found another car park yet; if a useful one turns up for busy days, we will list it here.
To be confirmed· S9
Can you get there without a car?
By train to Florenville station; from there it is a few minutes by car on the N83 (to be confirmed). The TEC bus runs only once or twice a day, so check times on letec.be before relying on it. On foot from the station: a route of about 9 km. Cyclists push their bikes across the bridge.
Can you bring a pushchair, children or a dog?
Pushchairs: all-terrain only, the path is not suitable for a standard one. Children: hold their hands for the whole crossing. Dogs: allowed on a lead; the grating floor can bother some animals. We have not yet checked access for wheelchairs, so we make no claim about it.

No toilets and no water point at the start. Bring your own water.
