In the heart of the Southern Ardenne, the vast Anlier forest deploys its treasures : rivers full of fish run through green valleys and you might even hear deer belling. This wild and mysterious region is fun to explore. You will enjoy the scenery, the space, the beauty and tradition. You will enjoy tasting the home produce : mushrooms, gaumais pâté, foie gras, delicious biscuits and Ardenne charcuterie (cooked pork meats).

Sportmen or hikers, on foot, bikes or horseback, at your own pace.
