Herbeumont is a village hidden in the dense forests on the right bank of the Semois. This beautiful and authentic place radiates calm. The nature is wonderful and, together with the old railway line (with beautiful bridges and tunnels), the Semois dominates the area.
Just outside the centre of the village, on the right bank of the Semois, you can visit the remains of the 11th century castle, built by Jehan the Rochefort. The ruins of the castle have remained just as the soldiers of Louis XIV, the Sun King, left them behind. From the ruins you can admire the spectacular view over the Semois Valley.
The location of the park offers many recreational opportunities in a forested area of 14 hectares. In the vicinity you can enjoy hiking trails, tourist excursions, mountain biking, kayaking, karting and golf (9 and 18-hole golf course). There are also several places to visit, such as Bouillon, Orval, the impressive Semois Valley, Santry, the slate quarry of Herbeumont and the book village of Redu.
At about 13 km from the park you’ll find Bertrix, a reasonably large town with shops, supermarkets, restaurants and a train station.
