The Haut-Marais bower is a vegetal vault made up of several thousand charms, most of them hundred years old. A rectilinear walk of more than 500 meters. Unusual and impressive!

La Charmille. Long hedge tunnel of charms. To see especially in summer.

The arbor of Haut-Marêt - also called Cradle of La Reid - is the longest in Europe....composed of more than 5000 Charmes and maintained by the school of agronomy of La Reid, it is certainly a exceptional place.

This arbor, very well maintained, forms a pretty tunnel of impressive length.

This exceptional hornbeam, the longest in Belgium (573 m) and one of the largest in Europe, is made up of 4700 hornbeam plants, 60 to 70% of which are centenarians.
Maintained by students of the Agronomic Institute of La Reid, it is also called "The Cradle" because of its arched shape.
The visit is free, from sunrise to sunset.

The hornbeam was planted in 1885 by the owner of the Haut-Marais estate. He had it planted between the hamlet of Vertbuisson and the Haut-Marais to offer the wealthiest visitors staying in the countryside a walk sheltered from the sun's rays.
