Looking for beautiful landscapes and walks along the water? In the province of Luxembourg, the Nature Reserve welcomes you to a vast area comprising traditional villages, wild landscapes, beautiful valleys and enchanting streams.
It covers 76,000 hectares in the north-east of the province of Luxembourg and includes the municipalities of Bertogne, Gouvy, Houffalize, La Roche-en-Ardenne, Sainte-Ode and Tenneville. This is the Deux Ourthes Nature Reserve, a vast mountainous area, so named because it covers the valleys where the two branches of the river Ourthe (eastern and western) have their sources. The heart of the Ardennes awaits you: traditional Ardennes villages, deep, wooded valleys, peat bogs and marshes, meadows and rural uplands.
A paradise of flora and fauna
The Deux Ourthes Nature Reserve is full of diverse landscapes that take you on an exploration through rich, varied and generous nature, where flora and fauna flourish in harmony. Stroll along the small clear-water streams, follow the educational paths along the Ourthe, open your eyes and take your time, go hiking (there are dozens of routes for all levels, including the famous Escapardenne trail) and marvel at the sound of nature's heartbeat along the way...
