Another life is invented here!

As the cradle of modern geology, the Ardennes Regional Nature Park is intimately linked to rocks and minerals. The telluric movements and the distribution of the rocks still explain the landscape and the distribution of human activities today. These movements have given rise to natural environments that are very different from one another, divided into 7 habitats and 5 landscape units. A diversity rich in an exceptional natural heritage recognized by 7 Natura 2000 zones and 2 National Nature Reserves. These environments are as many habitats for an exceptional fauna: roe deer, deer, wild boar, great horned owls, peregrine falcons, Tengmalm’s owls, alpine newts, muscardins, white storks and black storks… Its richness in flora reflects the diversity of its natural environments.

The diversity of the landscapes of the Ardennes Regional Nature Park allows the practice of many outdoor activities: walking on marked trails, mountain biking, walking and horseback riding, climbing, water activities, paragliding. Through the valleys, in the heart of the fields, from the dense forest to the high plateaus and balconies, the territory of the Park offers nearly 1,000 km of marked footpaths and 450 km of mountain bike trails. Saint Jacques de Compostelle, the great crossing of the Park, the mountain bike area, the trail area and many local circuits will help you discover the territory and its treasures. The Park particularly supports the practice of activities that respect the territory and its environments. The means of exploring the natural environment are everyone’s business. But the way to discover them is the same for everyone: with respect. Because these natural wonders, as sought after as they are accessible, are undergoing the combined assaults of a harsh climate and an increasingly numerous public.
