-It can be combined with Natura Adventure Park, where you can enjoy tree top courses (accrobranche), e-scooters and bikes, barbecue, bangee jumping and the highlight is… A zip line over the lake!!!
-There is also one small plage where it’s allowed to swim, with shallow water and sandy beach, a beach bar and water sports
-There is another swimming zone, Relais de Falemprise. It is a great place in the area of Lac de l’Eau d’Heure to spend a sunny day with the family. There are jumping castles (and a water slide!), pedalos, a lake to swim, a frituur with a huge sandpit near the lake
-About 1.5 hour drive south of Schuman, Brussels
