The hornbeam avenue was planted in 1885 by the owner of the Haut-Marais estate. He had the hornbeams 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. Although the avenue is now only 573 metres long, it was once twice as long.

This exceptional hornbeam avenue, the longest in Belgium (573 m) and one of the largest in Europe, consists of 4,700 hornbeam plants, 60 to 70% of which are one hundred years old.

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