A walk which has it all!
From arrival to the tiny cabin, getting warm-hearted introduction to the park to the walk itself with some prehistoric, Roman and medieval aspects combined with nature’s beauty of rocks, river and forest, to a lovely stop (wauw!!!) for a drink next to the river to the possibility to “explore” caves , to great sights ... this park has is all. Even on a rainy day it got us fully enthused. One thing preventing the 5 stars only: the number of visitors finding it perfectly normal to visit a nature’s reserve park with a dog. This truly can’t be the goal? It’s a wildlife reserve! And the walk is not really dog-proof. Unfortunately neither are my children who spend their walk anxiously looking over their shoulder to see if the dogs were approaching. To all the kind dog owners we meet everywhere: of course your and most dogs are truly kind, but that does not take away the fear for children.

Good short hike
The walk in the park is indicated with arrows, and it is a one-way course to follow. The walk is easily accessible, there are also a lot of stairs: first you climb a little bit, then you decend to the Lesse and then you climb back up again. When you get to the Lesse, there is a kind of take-away place for food and drinks and there is a very clean bathroom to use (free for all). It is a rather short walk (4 km) but ideal to make with children. Lots of shade as well. Not a lot of people in numbers but when compared to hiking in the area it was crowded in some places. Make sure to book online in advance, admission is 5 EUR.
