The bikes are handed out at 2 p.m. and will be personally adjusted for your biking comfort. You set sail with the MIRO towards Liege, via the locks of Lanaye. With their 18 meter drop, these are the highest locks in the Maas. Upon arrival in historical centre of Liege, the boat will dock at the aquarium museum Du Liege. Dinner will be served in Liege and in the evening there will be ample time to visit the lovely city highlights – the captain will be happy to take you to the renowned Café Chantant Le Jardin des Olliviette, where the music of the region and the famous French "chansons" create a wonderfully unique atmosphere.
