Hiking

The Bois de la Paix (Forest of Peace), a forest typical of the Bastogne Plateau, encompasses three hectares and a total of 4,000 trees. It was created to commemorate the Battle of the Bulge, which once took place here. From a bird's eye view, the forest depicts the UNICEF emblem—a mother and child, a symbol of universal tenderness. At the foot of each tree, an American veteran placed a plaque bearing his name and unit upon his return to Bastogne. A beautiful symbol.
