Lac des Vieilles Forges is surrounded by forests and meadows. You can enjoy views of the water and wildlife while circling the lake. The lake is also part of a hydroelectric system that pumps water to and from two reservoirs to generate electricity.

Hiking

In the heart of the forest, and a few kilometers from the Meuse Valley, the site of Vieilles-Forges is the ideal place to treat yourself to a moment of relaxation and leisure in a beautiful setting.

This unique natural site consists of a forest complex of 1000 hectares and a lake of 150 hectares and offers you the opportunity to practice many activities such as swimming, canoeing, fishing or even hiking.

The Vieilles-Forges estate welcomes 280,000 visitors every year. It is today rated as the first tourist attraction of the Ardennes.
