Liège 3: Stairing into space

Posted on 3 November 20223 December 2022 by Rob Ainsley

One of the world’s most unnecessary ‘No Cycling’ signs is probably here in Liège. If you’ve been exploring the little Impasses of the Hors-Château quarter, at the foot of the citadel, you might be tempted to take the footpath to the top for a view over the city.

They shall not pass: Impasse in Liège

Not when you actually get to the staircase, though. There are 373 steps (or 374: opinions differ, and I wasn’t in a mood to check) to the top of the Montagne de Beuren, which is a bit far to lug a bike, let alone ride it.

If it hadn’t been for the sign, you might have been tempted: Montagne de Beuren, Liège

Down or up.
