The Ardennes are located at the south of Belgium (Belgium in a nutshell), and more specifically at the south of Wallonia (A few words on Wallonia).
They form Belgian’s “green lung”. You often hear the term Ardennes for the whole of Wallonia, especially when Wallonia’s natural heritage or ecological capital is mentioned.
Its woods, forests, nature reserves and rivers form privileged locations for those who love ecology, natural, fauna and flora. It is really astounding that nature is so dense on such a small surface and that there is such a great variety of “sports-nature” activities.
If you like peace and quiet, if you want to forget all about your daily stress or if you long for sports, then you should definitely come to the Ardennes!
They are easily accessible, you’ll get a warm-hearted welcome and it’s not expensive. You’ll be able to come several times a year
