Nice trip on the old diesel with a guide (in French). We path by a few tunnels and stop in two old stations. Just stretch our legs and see it. After the trip you can enjoy your time on the station terrace and walk to the geographic centre of Wallonia not far from Spontin. Hello all. I recommend you this touristique place. Charming, interesting. You can see and go by old train. There is special with restaurant too. The best part of the entire experience for me was meeting people passionate about what they do, trying to communicate their passion to you. It is a really enjoyable place for enthusiasts and children alike. There are special events such as lunch on rails and Saint Nicholas parties. If you wish to spend a few hours there, that is fine. Riding the trains is a great experience. Super friendly little railway. 1.5 hours spent enjoying fabulous views of the Bocq and learning about the route. Commentary only in French, but English and Dutch translations available. Easy to buy tickets online in advance, simple to find station, lots of parking, toilets and even a cash machine. Ardennes quaintness, involvement of children and warmth of welcome makes this ride absolutely delightful. Do visit! Rally nice place for aficionados and kids. They have some special events like lunch on rails, and Saint Nicolas party. Really a work of passion by a nice team. I really thought this was going to be cute but honestly it was a total waste of time and money. The was packed with people, it was a slightly warmer day and very little aeration on the train, there are no actual sights to see as the drives trough packed greenery. There was also no ecolanation of sorts about anything. They let us of the at two places where there was nothing to see or do either. Frankly you get a much better glimpse and feeling of old railways by using the draisines in the Molignee valley, I sort of wish they would install these in Spontin as well, would be way more fun and also less polluting since apparently this runs on diesel? In short: neither my kids nor I did enjoy the experience, I would not recommend. It’s not a big travel, but it is really interesting thing to do to understand how the trains were. There were some part of the trees in the rail, then the could stop and the guys went there to take it out of the way, others things also happened (that do not happen nowadays with more technological trains). I liked to hear the history, even that wasn’t all the time in English, the guy really tried to translate and make us understand. There are some really nice views! One advice: there are just few people at 11h ride, after lunch I saw it crowded If you have min. 1 hour time to waste and money to waste as well (31 Euro per 2 person), you can go. Otherwise there is nothing to see. I think the greatest thing in the whole experience was to meet people passionate with what they do, trying to communicate to you everything they can. Kind, helpful, with humor, a bit from the "past"; please keep it that way!
