Final stop in the forest
the saint-hubert forest by train
Is it possible to spend one or more days in the Ardennes and get there by train?
The answer is “Yes” thanks to the 4 stations located in the heart of the Grande Forêt de Saint-Hubert.
The international line 162 Brussels-Namur-Luxembourg allows to reach the region.
The main station is Libramont. The secondary stations are Poix-Saint-Hubert, Grupont and Forrières.
“Breathe the forest air and reduce your ecological footprint at the same time”.

The Forêt de Saint-Hubert is a popular area for walking. So it’s only natural that you should opt for “station-to-station” walking itineraries or looped routes that take you back to the starting station.
- 6 routes from station to station, ranging from 12 to 33 km (between stations, choose between a short version or a longer version over two days, with the option of staying in one of the villages you come across).
- numerous signposted local walks and mountain bike trails in loops near the stations. Distance, atmosphere, difficulty… these are just some of the criteria that will guide your choice!
Train & Backpack to get lost without a car
The name says it all: a train, a rucksack and off you go for a hike!
In practical terms, you start and finish your walk at a station, so you can make the most of the journey along railway lines that offer magnificent scenery. You can choose to go for a one-day walk, or spread out over 2 or 3 days. Sporting, cultural, gastronomic, heritage, birdwatching… there’s something for everyone!
