Beautiful hike, I was just expecting to see the lake but that is not the case, we go around it but not close!

The small waterfalls of the Eau Blanche River are a hidden natural wonder in the region. These charming waterfalls are located in a picturesque and unspoilt setting, where the clear waters of the Eau Blanche meander over rocks and vegetation. The river flows through a wide, wooded landscape.

Via a short but tiring slope you reach a viewpoint on Lake Virelles, where you also have the Aquascope. Opposite the bench on the blue walking trail you can continue a few meters in the direction of the lake. There you have the best view, which is also marked on the map as a viewpoint.

The name 'Eau Blanche' (white water) comes from the blanchâtre color caused by the chalky mud of the Calestienne, a region with very calcareous soils.

Located in the Chimay region of Belgium, the Bois du Blaimont is known for its beautiful hiking trails and rich natural environment. The forest is famous for its flora and fauna and the absolute peace and quiet that prevails there. The area is also geologically interesting; the plateau of the Bois du Blaimont consists of a layer of hard limestone, formed from ancient coral reefs about 350 million years ago, when the region was still covered by a tropical sea2. This plateau dominates the Eau Blanche valley and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area, including the Virelles pond and the village.

AquaScope Virelles is a nature reserve in Virelles, Belgium, known for its rich biodiversity and educational programs. The center is also an excellent place for birdwatching, both for groups and individuals, and offers unique experiences such as a night in a hut by the water or a silent excursion at dawn on the lake. AquaScope Virelles is a gateway to the new National Park Entre Sambre Et Meuse and aims to raise awareness of nature and environmental protection. The AquaScope has a small restaurant and is therefore the ideal place before or after a walk in the area.

The AquaScope Virelles is located directly at the lake and invites you into direct contact with the protected fauna and flora thanks to different viewpoints and boardwalks along the water. Temporary exhibitions on the biotope, a water play area and of course the restaurant combine to make the AquaScope an ideal excursion location for families.
