The Seven World's Most Beautiful Rivers 1,026 Hits Anburaj Dec 9, 2025, 12:26 PM The Seven World's Most Beautiful Rivers List of 7 Most Beautiful Rivers The world is home to spectacular rivers, each with unique beauty. From Colombia's Caño Cristales, famous for its five-colour aquatic plants, to China's Li River with its mystical karst peaks, these waterways are natural masterpieces. Rivers with incredible scale, biodiversity, and historical significance include the Amazon and the Danube. Our planet's lifeblood is its rivers. Since the beginning of human civilization, they have been necessary for life. They provide fresh drinking water, irrigate crops, and serve as vital trade routes. Historically, the great civilisations of Mesopotamia and Egypt first began on riverbanks, dating back over 6,000 years. It is impossible to count every creek and stream, but estimates suggest that there are over 250,000 rivers worldwide. Among these, the Nile River is often named the longest, and the Amazon River is the largest by water volume. One of the oldest rivers is the Finke River in Australia, with parts possibly dating back more than 350 million years. Which river in the world is considered to be the most beautiful? It is often called the "River of Five Colours”. A rare underwater-blooming plant is the source of its vibrant hues. In this article, we'll take a look at the most beautiful rivers from around the globe.

Beautifully restored Abbey, a lot of associated history and some beautiful nature walks. You can visit the grounds and park for free (although I guess it might be busy in high season, we were there in October and there were 5 cars in the vast car park). Lovely place for a walk and picnic with children without an entry fee to the Abbey.

We went for “flâneries lumineuses”. Great experience to visit this beautiful abbey in night time. The lights made the place amazing. You have possibility to have picnic outside in the garden. The place is well maintained. My son also enjoyed the visit. Ticket for adult is 5 euros and free for kids. If you are in the region you should visit this abbey. The restaurant near the abbey looks great. We will try it next time.

This is a beautiful medieval Cistercian Abbey, who's life as a religious centre was ended by the French revolution. It has been lovingly restored and is still peaceful and atmospheric. It has an excellent café managed by a delightful lady and the reception staff were friendly a welcoming. We cycled to the Abbaye and found dedicated cycle parking - cyclists welcome! Well worth a visit and recommended.

Highly recommend visiting this site. We stopped by on a road trip, and were absolutely amazed by the beauty of this site and the incredible work that has gone into preserving and documenting it. The artificial soundscape produced by speakers throughout the site really added to the experience.

Absolutely amazing place , noises , sounds , whispers , crickets, squeaks! Immerse yourself into a historic sound wrapped design enchanting place !

Well worth the visit, magnificent 👌

Nice and quiet abbaye. Let the photo's speak
