The heart of Wallonia has been declared a Geopark by UNESCO, confirming the exceptional nature of Wallonia. It is not only beautiful above the ground, but also below the ground you will be amazed. Like in the Caves of Han, Remouchamps and Hotton.

Cycling between the hills
Many Dutch people brave the hills in Wallonia by bike, known for classics such as Liège-Bastogne-Liège. But recreational cyclists will also discover Wallonia with an extensive cycling network and the so-called RAVeL routes. These flat cycle routes run along rivers and over old railways that have been converted into cycle paths. The Vennbahn was even named Bicycle Route of the Year. E-bikes can be rented at various places.

Hiking in Wallonia
Wallonia and hiking go hand in hand. There are hundreds of signposted walking routes for a short or longer walk.

The walks lead through the woods, along rivers with rapids and to breathtaking viewpoints. In Wallonia, nature is in charge and you will find a pleasant peace and space.

Canoeing and survival
Wallonia is ideally suited for real survival activities. No climbing wall can compete with that. Professional outdoor sports companies have established themselves in the most beautiful places and offer an extensive range of activities.
