In addition to our trips in the Netherlands, we are going to offer more and more trips abroad. Crossing the border with Unplugged Outdoor, do you dare? One of the areas we would like to explore with you is the Belgian Ardennes. In the Belgian Ardennes you feel far away, yet the region is close to the Netherlands. The Ardennes are known for their rugged nature and wooded hills with beautiful rivers. Nature guarantees a 'get away from it all' feeling! Currently we offer weekends to Belgium, but in the future this will be expanded to a week on adventure. Go to this page to see the current offer. Besides Belgium we offer complete adventures to Albania, Greece, France and of course our own country!

On an adventure in the Belgian Ardennes

How wonderful is it to wake up in the middle of nature in the Belgian Ardennes? This is great fun, we can tell you. In the Ardennes you will always find a spot that is undiscovered for you. Nature invites you to explore and the mountains to be climbed. You can make this as difficult as you want. Once you reach a high point, you can enjoy the view of a valley. And of course of the nature around you, the flowing water.... Are you already looking forward to it?

In the Belgian Ardennes we stay at a nice nature campsite. But in the future more intensive survival trips and bushcraft will also be offered in the Ardennes. The hilly landscape lends itself perfectly to this.

Nature, fauna & flora of the Belgian Ardennes

The Ardennes is a densely forested low mountain / medium mountain area. This makes it an attractive habitat for several wild animals. Animals such as beavers, black storks, wild boars, deer and birds of prey can be seen here quite often.

Geographical information

Belgium is divided into three parts; Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels Capital Region. By far the largest part of Wallonia consists of the Belgian Ardennes. This forested low mountain range / middle mountain range has been a popular vacation destination with the Dutch for decades. But residents of surrounding countries also like to go on vacation there. The Ardennes can be roughly divided into 18 regions. These regions vary mainly in cultural and culinary aspects. For example, did you know that a small part of the Ardennes is located in northern Luxembourg and France? The natural beauty is equally breathtaking in each region. If you want to enjoy beautiful scenery and tranquility; this is the place to be!

History of the Belgian Ardennes

The Ardennes are famous for World War II. In the winter of 1944 - 1945, the last major offensive of the German army was here. Fighting was especially fierce in and around Bastogne. And in the Middle Ages, the Ardennes were even notorious; Petrarch crossed the Ardennes forest in 1333, on his way back from Liège to Italy, and called it "so dark that it strikes the soul with rigidity." The further rich history of the Ardennes can be seen today in its impressive castles, beautiful monasteries and ruins.
