# Region

Cugnon lies in the Semois valley, a region of winding river, wooded hills and villages. Plenty to do, or nothing at all.

## The Semois valley

The Semois winds through the south of the Belgian Ardennes, past steep wooded slopes and picturesque villages. The area is also known as a former tobacco-growing region. From Cugnon you will find walking routes, cycle paths and viewpoints in every direction, and often you do not even need to leave the domain to enjoy nature.

## What to do in the region

- **Walking along the Semois**: Trails along the river and over the hills, from the house or a short drive away.
- **Cycling and mountain biking**: Quiet roads and forest paths in a hilly landscape. A lockable bicycle shed is available.
- **Kayaking on the Semois**: Kayak rental and descents are offered in the region; check with the provider beforehand.
- **Castles and villages**: Bouillon with its castle, the ruins of Herbeumont and the villages along the river.
- **Orval abbey**: A well-known abbey with ruins, gardens and local products.
- **Local flavours**: Regional products and local restaurants: we are happy to help you book.
