Since late 2022, Wallonia has been able to boast two National Parks, which is priceless international recognition enhancing the value of the region’s expansive natural area. One of these is the Semois Valley National Park.
The Walloon National Parks are dedicated to protecting biodiversity and developing sustainable tourism. They boast slope forests, wetlands and a multitude of animal and plant species. They form the perfect setting for hiking, trail running, swimming and canoeing. “86% of this park is covered by forest while also including a 167 km long river”, says Quentin Deuxant, the Park’s communications manager.
Straddling the Gaume region and the Ardennes Massif, the river sculpts a deep valley along the way, revealing some of the most breathtaking landscapes in southern Belgium. By this winter, the eagerly anticipated Himalayan suspension bridge will add the finishing touch to the beauty of this natural landscape.
