Tenneville-Bad….in full forest !

The city of Tenneville is known for its crossing through the National 4 which, by the way, makes it so easily accessible, but it is much more than just this. Walking along the country roads you will soon notice that this is a region that combines conviviality, enjoyment of simple things and exotic expanses of nature.Even if you take the time to walk on two ancestors of the famous N4, the Chaussée Marie-Thérèse or the old Roman road Metz-Tongres, the countryside appears as far as the eye can see… and the forest is never far away! More than half of this area of the Forest of Saint-Hubert is covered with trees. Between the impressive forest of Freyr, the nature reserves or the viewpoints where you can observe fauna and flora, this is undoubtedly a region where time is taken to live the present moment.

the forest bathing destination in Belgium

Forest bathing (also known as “Shinrin Yoku“) means adopting a different way of being in the forest, a different way of walking… Enjoying the benefits of the trees and reconnecting with nature, but also (and above all?) with yourself.
Guided forest walks are organised all year round by the Tenneville Tourist Office.
Guided by forest therapists, these are new experiences every time. Whether you prefer a rational approach or zenattitude, there are a number of options available. And for those who’d rather discover this practice on their own, with its positive effects on body and mind, there are a number of routes available.
