Maison du Parc Botrange - FANIA expostion
Description
Just a stone's throw from Belgium's largest nature reserve, FANIA, the museum's permanent exhibition, is original, informative, interactive, fun, aesthetically pleasing and showcases the Hautes Fagnes in all their glory !
Throughout the exhibition, guided by a wooden walkway, visitors discover the unique features of the Hautes Fagnes (climate, relief, subsoil, natural landscapes, etc.).
To end on a fun note, a sensory tunnel immerses visitors in the mysterious atmosphere of the Hautes Fagnes, where they can listen to birds singing in the morning and the sounds of the night, sneak into a burrow like a fox or climb into a nest made of branches like a squirrel.
