As its name suggests, the Semois Valley National Park covers the forests, prairies, and valleys along the Semois River in the southern Ardennes.
Covering an area of 28,904 hectares, the Semois Valley National Park comprises the municipalities of Vresse sur Semois, Bouillon, Paliseul, Bertrix, Florenville, Herbeumont, Chiny, and Tintigny. Its territory is made up of 86% forest and boasts no less than 690 km of waterways.
Of course, nature is the main attraction in this magnificent region, packed full of unforgettable walks and bike rides. The unique view of the Giant’s Tomb, around which the Semois River majestically winds, is a prime destination. Equally legendary is the view over Frahan, accessible via a beautiful walk from the picturesque village of Rochehaut.
Be sure to visit some of valley’s historical heritage sites, including the impressive castles of Herbeumont and Bouillon. Make sure you visit some of the most beautiful villages in all of the Ardennes, such as Chassepierre, where nature, theatre, and magic are wonderfully intertwined along the Semois River.
The Semois Valley National Park offers wonderful opportunities to discover both nature and heritage sites, along with a host of sporting activities for the whole family to enjoy. A natural paradise that will leave you wanting more!
