A mix of nature, history and family fun: Le Bocq takes you to a different place.
Climb aboard an authentic railcar from the 1950s for a guided ride through the Bocq valley, or take part in one of our special events ranging from a meal served on board the train to a meeting with Saint-Nicolas.
Departing from Spontin station, the journey takes around 1 hour 30 minutes. It will take you first to Ciney (no entry to the Infrabel domain or Ciney station except on certain dates – see our timetables), then to Yvoir (Bauche PN) and finally to Spontin, our terminus. Several stops are planned!
