A Belgian Ardennes nature park shaped by the Sûre river valleys and the broad deciduous forests of the Anlier massif.
Parc naturel Haute-Sûre Forêt d'Anlier
Parc naturel Haute-Sûre Forêt d'Anlier is one of the recognized nature parks of Wallonia, set in the Belgian Ardennes within the Province of Luxembourg. Covering about 833 square kilometers, it stretches across the municipalities of Bastogne, Vaux-sur-Sûre, Fauvillers, Habay, Martelange, Léglise, and Neufchâteau, forming a large continuous landscape of forested uplands and river valleys.
The park's identity is built around two defining natural features: the hydrographic basin of the Sûre river, with its incised valleys, and the extensive deciduous woodlands of the Anlier forest massif. Portions of the territory are formally protected within the European Natura 2000 network, including the Anlier forest itself, recognizing the area's habitat value at a continental scale.
The black stork serves as the symbolic species of the park, underscoring the presence of quiet, well-wooded wetland and forest habitats that support sensitive wildlife. Sharing a border with the Luxembourgish Naturpark Boven-Sûre, the park forms part of a broader transboundary ecological landscape along the Sûre valley.
