After the long months of winter, the natural world is waking up and with it comes an open invitation: to hike, run, paddle, cycle, and simply breathe it all in.

So naturally, this month, we’re taking you to Wallonia’s national parks and remarkable gardens.

Maxime from VISITWallonia

Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park

A world of deep, whispering forests, wildflower-dotted limestone hills, and humid plains alive with birdsong.

Home to 1,700 hectares of freely evolving forest and a roaming flock of 300 sheep (shepherds and dogs in tow), this park is a living, breathing model of what nature looks like when we let it thrive.

Discover the park

Semois Valley National Park

Belgium’s biodiversity, gathered in one breathtaking place. The Semois river carves through 29,000 hectares of forests, wetlands, and ancient slate sites (home to lynx, otter, and rare species).

Don’t miss the iconic views: Tombeau du Géant, Frahan, Rocher du Hat.

Explore the valley

Remarkable Parks & Gardens

Avenues ablaze with colour, picnics under the shade of centuries-old trees, the sweet scent of honey drifting through the air…

Choose from: castle grounds, rare arboretums, medicinal herb gardens, urban green spaces, or didactic and artistic gardens.

Amaryllis Exhibition

Once a year, Beloeil Castle is transformed. Thousands of amaryllis flowers sweep across the estate, turning it into something straight out of a fairy tale and you won’t want to miss it.

It’s a floral spectacle

Instagram pic of the month

Located near Falaën in the province of Namur, the ruins of Montaigle are the perfect stop on a trip through the Molignée valley.

Pair it with a visit to the local abbey of Maredsous and a glass of their famous beer 😉
