Bois de Blaimont

Highlight • Forest

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

Highlight • Lake

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.
