Difficult trail with a tricky section along the stream

The Grande Fagne de Bihain preserves an impressive diversity of habitats and species: a total of 15 different habitat types and around 20 animal species have been recorded there, including birds, fish, invertebrates, and mammals. The area is an outstanding example of the rare raised bog and fen landscapes of Western Europe, whose formation depends on specific climatic and geological conditions. These unique ecosystems play a central role in biodiversity, climate protection – because peat stores large amounts of CO₂ – and the natural water cycle.

The observation tower at the Circuit LIFE du Sacrawé, which starts at the car park on the N89 between Baraque de Fraiture and Samrée, offers a panoramic view over the renaturalized peatlands of the Fagne Sacrawé and the upper Bellemeuse valley – ideal for nature and birdwatchers.

The Sacrawé raised bog (Plateau des Tailles) is one of the most valuable peatlands in the region. A boardwalk allows visitors to safely cross the delicate bog without damaging the vegetation. It is part of a marked circular trail with information panels and a small viewpoint. As the area is strictly protected, visitors must stay on the marked paths, and individual sections may be temporarily closed. The landscape is characterized by sphagnum mosses, cotton grass, and heathland, and provides habitat for specialized bog plants and animals.

Easy, yes. Family-friendly, no. Strollers aren't suitable because of the often thick rocks in the forest floor and unpaved paths. No benches. Beautiful, yes, but hiking boots are necessary, and grandma has to stay home. Therefore, calling the trail family-friendly is misleading.
