This is worth a walk to see the windmills. From coach drop off point near Minnewater Lake it took about 30 minutes to walk around to the windmills. From there it was about a 20 minute walk back into the centre of town. Like many buildings in Bruges, the Windmills are visually very striking and provide excellent opportunities for photographs.

As a wheelchair user I spend a lot of time searching for places I can a) access b) park at c) eat and drink at and d) use the toilet facilities. Sadly, this usually narrows it down to a very small percentage of visitor attractions. So I was delighted to find this place. There are several large disabled parking bays right by the entrance. There is plenty of parking and also a lot of bike parking too. There is a lovely play area also by the entrance which is actually designed with disabled children in mind - a refreshing site to see! Also by the play area is a lovely restaurant - Bistro Het Vinne - De Winning. Covid restrictions being what they are, we found this restaurant very, very well prepared. You have to wait to be seated (not long!) and use the hand gel...sign in etc. The tables outside are large, well spaced and all disinfected thoroughly between customers. I didn't go inside but would imagine the same as the owners are clearly very vigilant. The staff were very friendly and couldn't have been more welcoming. All staff use hand gel frequently and wear masks of course. The menu was lovely. The food very good quality Belgian fare and mainly bio (organic) and sourced from local farms. Everything was delicious and the ice cream was particularly good, made with bio milk from a local producer. The park walks themselves are sadly not very accessible, but you can do a short roll of around 1-2kms and this does include the sensory area which has some installations such as a wind chime machine. It was enough for us for a short afternoon stroll followed by a lovely meal. There is also an information centre right next to the bistro and play area - fully accessible. There is also a fully accessible toilet available too. One big enough for an electric wheelchair to turn around in! Yippee! Oh and one more thing, no wasps! The bane of late summer. No wasps, nor wasp traps, which only seem to attract the little buggers. A huge bonus for me! All in all I can highly recommend this place. Please visit. Like all places they are struglling due to Corona but deserve to be top of your priority list of places to go for a lovely walk and a meal.

Belgium is a small yet great country, and so are our canyons! West of the river Meuse, close to the French border in the Fagne-Famenne area, you find the nature parc 'Viroin-Hermeton'. Among tourists, this area is less known but among lovers of nature, the Viroinvalley has a serious reputation: Viroin stands for calcium-grazelands full of wild orchids, many kind of rare mosses, rare insects and reptiles. In the hills, nature has formed hundreds of crevices, minicanyons and even grottos. The ecosystem and biodiversity in this nature area earns its spot among the richest in the world with a botanic welth of up to 60 kinds of plants per m². 1) You can reach this area via the town of Nismes (area code 5670, via E420-R5 to Philippeville, direction Couvin, exit for route N939 direction via Mariembourg to Nismes). Several trails start at the church in the centre of Nismes, a small but typical town. Tourism office with further info is at the other side of the square, opposite the church. 2) Trials: --The yellow rectangle takes you trough 7.5km of forest, grazeland, orchids, steep hills, panoramic 'Falconrock', and of course the canyons. --The 9km red/white rectangle marks the beautiful trial 'Les Abannets', following the river. 3) Bring boots or sturdy walkingshoes, a walkingstick can be of help on the steeper parts. These trails are not suitable for strollers, nor wheelchairs. Dogs are allowed on a leash. 4) other things in this area: steamtrain Mariembourg 5660 toTreignes (and back), railroadmuseum in 5670 Treignes, grottos of Neptune in 5660 Petigny.

I went there with my family and a friend, ie 3 adults, a 2-year old and a dog. The path is not made for strollers or toddlers who are not sure-footed. In fact, for most (almost all) of the way, the toddler was on the sling. We walked for a bit more than 9km and the trail was very well marked. It had a few options for those who wanted to take a longer route. I think ours, while the shortest route, was about 60%-70% of the full route and it took us around 3 hours. One particular nice thing that I liked was that on the way back, part of the walk was not in the valley, but right above it and this allowed for quite the view. Trail was very clean and it was quite crowded at times. We kept the dog on leash in fact. Beginners can handle the hike as well... I managed and I am the opposite of a fit person and was carrying 12kg bundle of joy on my back.

The valley is an amazing place to go for a walk and just enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. The small streams and waterfalls are soothing and the trees provide a lot of shade on sunny days. It's simply a joy to wander around the area.
