- Hiking Trails (day loops to long-distance) — Well-marked local loops and longer sections of cross-country routes (including parts of the Escapardenne/Eislek network) let you tailor hikes from easy riverside strolls to full-day ridge walks.
- Wildlife & Birdwatching — Deer, wild boar signs, foxes and a variety of woodland birds are common; riverside sections often reveal kingfishers or the occasional otter if you’re patient and quiet.
- Quaint Border Villages — Small timbered villages and hamlets cling to the valley slopes; they’re great for a cheap bed, a proper local meal, and that feeling of stepping back a few decades.
- Seasonal Highlights — Spring brings wildflowers along the trails, autumn lights up the valley in fiery color, and winter turns the park into a hushed, snowy landscape — each season gives a different reason to visit.
