Morning: Exploring the Fagne Wallonne Nature Reserve
Start your journey in the Hautes Fagnes-Eifel Nature Park, Belgium’s largest and most mysterious moorland. Begin your hike at Signal de Botrange, the highest point in Belgium at 694 meters, and follow the Fagne Wallonne Trail. Walk along wooden boardwalks through vast peat bogs, misty landscapes, and golden-hued grasslands. The peaceful silence and rugged beauty make it an unforgettable experience.

Hidden Gem: Look for the Poleur Fagne, one of the most untouched areas in the reserve, where you can spot rare plant species and, if you're lucky, wild deer.

Lunch:
Enjoy a rustic lunch at Maison du Parc-Botrange, a visitor center and café serving hearty Belgian dishes. Try the tartiflette (potato and cheese casserole) or a warm bowl of Ardennes-style soup.

Afternoon: The Noir Flohay and The Mystical Trees
After lunch, hike towards Noir Flohay, one of the most famous spots in Hautes Fagnes. This surreal landscape features burnt, twisted pine trees that stand like ghostly figures against the misty sky. It’s an incredible place for photography and reflection.

Hidden Gem: Follow the trail to the Gileppe Dam, where you’ll find an impressive stone lion statue and a panoramic viewing platform.

Dinner:
Dine at Le Mont Rigi, a cozy restaurant offering local specialties like Ardennes game meat and trout from the local rivers.

Drinks:
End the night with a drink at Brasserie de Bellevaux, a family-run brewery where you can taste craft beers made with pure Ardennes water.
