Nature reserve in the Ardennes<\/h3>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

A land of ancient history, the German-Belgian High Fens plateau welcomes you to a setting unique in Europe. A plateau of forests, lakes, and peat bogs, it is home to its own distinct flora and fauna that the boardwalks, wooden hiking trails, invite you to discover.
\nThe High Fens are home to no fewer than 15 lakes, the millions of cubic metres of water from which represent a gigantic reservoir.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiscover the hotel<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
