Location and access

The Namur-Dinant road. After crossing Dinant, exit towards Beauraing. At Anseremme, you have two choices: either go up the N95 (direction of Beauraing) for about 4 km to the tableland of Freÿr, or after passing under the railway bridge, take the small street on the left (Av Amand de Mendieta), then go around the port of the Yacht Club of Anseremme and continue for one km to reach a path located between the Meuse and the rocks.

For the general public, along the N95 there are two very impressive panoramas with parking, the first located to the north of the massif with a view of the castle, the gardens and the head of Mérinos, the second located at the South end of the massif next to the CAB hut, where 4 km of the Meuse unfold, starting from the meander of Waulsort, centered on that of Freÿr, to end on that of Moniat and overlooking the Al'Lègne rocks.

The Castle of Freyr is located on the other bank of the Meuse.

Study

The King Baudouin Foundation through the Museum of Ancient Arts of Namurois supported, in 2013, a major study on the site of Freÿr, both the right bank and the left bank in two volumes, totaling more than 1000 pages. It is called Freÿr sur Meuse, An exceptional heritage in the province of Namur. In particular, there are articles not only on the rocks, but also on the very special fauna and flora that one encounters there.
