Overview
Theme: Medieval Charm + Monastic Heritage
Far beyond Belgium’s chocolate shops and Grand Place lies a fairytale of moss-covered castles, peaceful river valleys, and centuries-old abbeys hidden in rolling green hills. This journey explores rural Wallonia—where Trappist monks brew in silence, medieval fortresses echo with history, and cobbled villages guard secrets untouched by time.
