Nature house in Oignies-en-Thierache
Namur, Belgium
- 5 persons
- 3 bedrooms
- Pets allowed
This beautiful nature house is located in the heart of Viroin-Hermeton nature reserve, known for its rich flora and fauna. Are you good at relaxing in a one-acre private garden, which is crossed by a small river and also has a large pond? Then this cottage is your ideal destination! Spend a romantic stay and fully enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds this nature house. Concerned about plastic pollution around the world, we decided in January 2019 that our nature house would become a waste-free cabin. In addition to buying only organic products for years, we now buy 90% of our products in bulk (shampoo, dish soap, sugar, etc....). To encourage our tenants to do the same, we decided to make the radical decision to make our home a zero waste home. Specifically, this means that no more garbage/waste will be accepted in the cottage. "Non-protein" organic waste (i.e. no meat or fish) can be thrown in the compost and glass bottles can be thrown in roadside bubble containers. The rest of the waste, if any, should be taken home.
Nature and surroundings
Viroin-Hermeton, a beautiful natural area with exceptional and varied landscapes that surrounds eight cute and traditional Belgian villages. The area is ideally known for its rich flora and fauna. Three geological regions come together in this nature reserve. The peat bogs with its swampy heaths. Also the limestone region with its remarkable landscape of grasslands, deep pits and caves with here and there a protruding rock point joins this area. In addition, you will find the foothills of the Ardennes with its dense forests. This varying landscape accommodates a wide range of activities, such as hiking and cycling, but mountain biking, bird watching and fishing are also excellent here!

It really is a very special place, though there is one downside. From the village, you drive about a kilometer down a dirt road into the woods. Surrounded by nature and wildlife, there’s a charming house with a pond. No Wi-Fi, but plenty of games and walks. Completely secluded. Not a sound to be heard except for the forest. Beautiful. Until the neighbors arrived. There’s actually another house right next to the pond. Two families with young children settled in there, and of course, that was the end of the peace and quiet. Especially when they started up the brush cutter. Despite that, we had a wonderful time with the family. The region is beautiful, and the food is a real treat. Be sure to visit the butcher in the village.
Werkelijk een heel bijzondere plek, wel een minpunt. Vanuit het dorp rij je een kleine kilometer over een onverharde weg het bos in. Midden in het groen en tussen het wild staat een leuk huis met vijver. Geen wifi maar spelletjes en wandelingen. Helemaal alleen. Geen enkel geluid anders dat van het bos. Prachtig. Tot de buren arriveerden. Er staat namelijk nog een huis grenzend aan de vijver. Twee gezinnen met jonge kinderen streken er neer en toen was het vanzelfsprekend wel gedaan met de rust. Vooral toen de bosmaaier gestart werd. Desondanks een heel mooie tijd beleefd met het gezin. Streek is prachtig en culinair een feestje. Bezoek vooral ook de slager in het dorp.
