Nestled in eastern Belgium, the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park is undoubtedly one of the country's most breathtaking regions. Spanning an impressive 72,000 hectares, it's not only one of Wallonia's largest nature parks but also one of its most iconic. This place is a true feast for the eyes, with its lush moorlands and mysterious peat bogs, dense forests, babbling streams, serene man-made reservoirs, and charming villages. Each corner of the park presents a scene straight out of a picture-perfect postcard, and all this beauty is conveniently located less than an hour from Liège.
The park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of hiking trails that wind through its diverse landscapes. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher or simply love a peaceful stroll in nature, there's something here for everyone. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the unique flora and fauna that call this park home. Keep an eye out for the elusive black grouse or the colorful butterflies fluttering about. It's a place where every visit promises new discoveries.
