Nature park centre - Botrange
Description
The “Maison du Parc-Botrange” invites you to enjoy a fun and educational visit across the entire territory of the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park. The nature park stretches from the dams and lakes of La Gileppe and Vesdre to the Our Valley, passing through the High Fens nature reserve. Our tourist information desk is open 7 days a week and provides brochures and maps – essential tools to help you explore and make unforgettable memories.
The Bistrot de Botrange, located inside the visitor centre, welcomes you for a tasty break with local and seasonal products.
You’ll also find a well-stocked shop on-site: browse through nature and educational books, local products, postcards, hiking maps, and original gift ideas.
Inside the visitor centre, don’t miss the impressive medicinal herb garden, showcasing plants used in healthcare – and attracting many bird species.
Outside, the playground with animal-shaped structures from the fens will delight your children.
A bike parking area (for regular and electric bikes) is also available, with repair tools and charging stations – for a safe and restful break.
