Hiking

In the heart of the Forêt de Flines stands an ancient oak tree, affectionately known as 'Sa Majesté le Chêne' (His Majesty the Oak). This monumental tree is at least two hundred years old and is one of the most impressive natural landmarks of the border forest. With its thick trunk and sprawling crown, the oak is not only a popular stopping point for hikers but also a crucial oasis for local biodiversity.
