Furfooz Nature Park
Parc de Furfooz
A limestone plateau nature reserve on the banks of the Lesse. A loop trail links prehistoric caves, the ruins of a Roman fort and a reconstructed Roman bath, with views over the river valley.
The park is managed by the Belgian Society for Nature and Bird Protection. The loop trail is about 4 kilometers long and takes around 2 hours. Along the way are caves where Paleolithic people once lived, such as Frontal Cave, natural tunnels you can squeeze through, the walls of a late Roman fort, and a small reconstructed bath. Several lookouts on the cliffs overlook the winding Lesse and the forest on the far bank. Wildflowers are abundant in spring. Admission costs about €6, and the park is generally open from April to October. The trails have steps and slippery rocks, so wear sneakers. It is about 8 kilometers from Dinant.
