Day 12 was short on miles, but big on touristing. We started the day off with touring the Fort de Charlemont high above Givet. Fortunately most of the rain came down during our tour and during our lunch afterward. 

From there, we pedaled north toward Dinant, with a quick ride by of Château le Thylère, which has seen better days. Castle Freyr It was beautiful and open, but we decided to keep on pedaling.

After seeing photos online, one of the top places I wanted to visit was Walzin Castle. Based on my research, it sounded like Walzin Castle was privately owned, so we wouldn't be able to tour the inside, but that the grounds and the gardens were open to visitors. Sadly, that proved not to be the case. Despite not being able to access the grounds, we were able to pedal a bit of muddy singletrack on our gravel bikes, including a cool bridge crossing to reach the other side of the river and some decent views of the castle. Imagine being that kind of rich that this is your primary residence.

From there it was only a few more miles to Danant to explore the Notre Dame Cathedral there and finish our ride to the historic Maison Leffe Abbey where the eponymous beer was founded.
