City and Countryside: Culture and nature
Nature close by/culture not far
The campsite is situated in Lescheret, a hamlet in the triangle of Bastogne, Neufchateau and Martelange (between France and Luxemburg).
This is in the middle of the nature park ’Parc Naturel Haut Sure Foret d’Anlier’, a 80.000 hectare great protected rural area in the South of the Belgian Ardennes and The Gaume.
Here you will not find mass tourism, but nature close by and culture not far.
There are many things to see and do within ±20-50 km off the campsite. There is lot to do in cities like: Bastogne, Arlon, Bouillon, Saint-Hubert, Esch-sur-Sûre and La Roche en Ardennes.
On our reading table in the Tavern you find a lot more information, also about trips to cities a bit further away like Durbuy, Dinant, Namen or daytrips into France, Luxemburg or Germany (e.g. Trier).
