These educational modules make up the nature trail “Colours of the Venn”. On them, you can get to know native tree species, pond and forest inhabitants. The complex topic of geography is also dealt with there: you will discover why, despite the fact that you are on a mountain height, you do not recognize the landscape. In another module, you will learn how to create a weather forecast based on certain parameters. And after all this information, you can relax in a room on the “nature” deck chairs, which stand under a willow dome.
These new facilities, accessible to all and well adapted for people with special needs, provide you with wonderful moments on site, at the Botrange nature park centre.
Author’s recommendation
You can take a break at the adjoining picnic area.
