 Landscapes wild still

Much more than just places for walks, national parks welcome you to preserved, protected natural spaces. From a canoe trip in the Semois Valley National Park to the trails of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park, discover exceptional sites in symbiosis with nature.

 Here are four must-see itineraries:

  • Le Fondry des Chiens in Viroinval: unique in Belgium, this 20-meter-deep natural chasm is home to incredible biodiversity.
  • La Promenade de l'Eau Blanche in Chimay: from the Lompret charm to the soothing lapping of a forest river...
  • Around the castle in Bouillon: a stroll to the Moulin de l'Epine, passing by the Abbey of Cordemois, you won't be bored on this route.
  • Le Rocher du Chat in Herbeumont: perfect for those who love viewpoints. This location opens a superb panorama over the Semois river and Ardennes forest.
