lightful " tramp " can be taken than over this stretch
of 15^ miles. Or, instead of putting up at a Li^ge
hotel, " do " that city, and then go by rail (4J miles) to
the pretty litde walering-place of Chaudefontaink
{Hotels : des Bains^ d* AngUterre)^ and walk from there
to Verviers. From Pepinster (8 miles from Chaude-
fontaine) a branch railway will take you in half an
hour to Spa (" the original and genuine "), the oldest
European watering-place of any note, and worth a
brief visit if time will allow.
In going by rail from Libge or other Belgian station
to Aix-la-Chapelle, it is cheaper to take a ticket to Ver-
viers (where there is a stop of 20 or 30 minutes, and
change of carriages), and get a fresh ticket there.
Through tickets are fully one third higher.
[Another route from Brussels to Libge is by the
" Great Luxembourg Railway " via Namur. It is to
be regretted that the steamers have ceased to ply be-
tween Namur and Li^ge, as the scenery along the
Meuse is enchanting — "the Rhine in miniature."
Express trains run through from Brussels to Libge
(72 miles) in 2J hours : fares, 8.5oyr., 6.$o/r,; to Na-
mur, 3.95 yr, 2.95/r. There is nothing of special in-
terest at Namur {Hotel: Bellevtie^ good and cheap),
but the neighborhood is picturesque and beautiful.
By this same route you may proceed from Namur to
Luxembourg and Trhes, and thence down the Moselle
by steamer to Coblence on the Rhine.]
