At 10 km from the house, you find the nice village Tilff, at the Ourthe. You can bike/run/walk along the banks of the river and enjoy the scenery. So out in the nature and so close to the city center.

Sightseeing
At 500m is the entrance of the Parc Chartreuse. It is situated behind the hospital Valdor and has an amazing history, with the remains of Fort de la Chartreuse.
The fort is built on a strategic height that dominates the valley of the Meuse, which had been occupied by a Carthusian (Ordre des Chartreux) monastery until the French Revolution. The fort was built by the Dutch, who at the time administered southern Belgium.
A redan of the Fort de la Chartreuse
The fort was abandoned as a fortification by the military in 1891 and was thereafter used as a barracks. From 1914 to 1918 the Germans used it as a prison, and again from 1940 to 1944. In 1944-1945 it was used by the Americans as a military hospital. The Belgian army left the site in 1988.

At the foot of the montagne Bueren, are a number of "Impasse" situated. Worthwhile visiting on a beautiful day. Be quiet, because it are narrow streets and people living there appreciate the silence.
