I love nature, it is the perfect medicine to recharge your batteries and mind.


5 minutes of exposure to nature is already enough to boost your mind, studies are showing.

My mind was boosted like a rocket, I did a hike of 4 hours / 11 km in the High Fens—the highest altitude area in Belgium of 600+ meters.


Many gorgeous small waterfalls can be admired when you walk along the river Hoëgne for about 4 km in a valley which keeps you cool during hot weather. The remaining 7 km is next to open fields with farm animals, forests and even hunting trails.


This is your perfect day trip to one of the most beautiful parts in the Belgian Ardennes!

Arrive early is the key message. I arrived at 10AM with 10 cars and left at 2PM with 500+ cars on the parking lot.


I parked right here and used the website/app "Cirkwi"—a useful navigation tool for hiking. The signalization was poor in this area so this was of good use.
