Mooie reeks tips betreffende Orval. Ik herinner mij nog een WE verblijf op de abdij toen ik KRO-COR was op de infanterie school in Aarlen. Lang geleden!

Impressive historical info, a bit cruel past but lovely page and travelogues. The museum/crypt + the brewery tour sounds interesting. Is Orval beer available only at place? I can imagine those monks after a few beers :-)

Fascinating history of the ruins and the legend about the fish. Wonderful dreamy place ... and a brewery too :)
