Vaux-Sur-Sûre: Springs, Forest and Wildlife Experiences

Vaux-Sur-Sûre is a destination for travellers who want to combine nature experiences with wildlife encounters and a peaceful cultural element. The focus is on different trails and distinct reasons to visit. There is also a ZooParc with animals from Africa and South America, an arboretum with 70 different species, and a Stations of the Cross near the Grotte Notre-Dame de Lourdes. This makes it possible for families and travel groups with different interests to plan a varied stay without committing to just one type of holiday.

Hike to the source of the Sûre

The Promenade des Sources leads through the Bois de Waffe, across fields and through wooded areas to the place where the Sûre rises. The route makes the landscape a tangible experience: wooded sections alternate with more open areas before the source forms the thematic destination. Anyone looking for a hike with a clear nature focus can include this route in their day plan. The Vaux-Sur-Sûre tourist office provides hiking maps, offering practical guidance when choosing additional trails.

Arboretum and forest walk

The Arboretum de Vaux-sur-Sûre is home to 70 different species in a protected area. Located on the main road between Wideumont and Vaux-sur-Sûre, the arboretum also offers a forest walk of just under 2 km. This places two connected but clearly distinct reasons for visiting at the centre of the experience: the variety of species invites attentive discovery, while the forest walk makes the visit a separate outdoor activity.

Wildlife and a tranquil cultural site

At the ZooParc, visitors can discover fascinating animals from Africa and South America. This visit offers a different focus from the trails along the Sûre or in the arboretum and is therefore particularly suitable for a travel plan that seeks to experience nature as more than just a landscape. In addition, the Stations of the Cross near the Grotte Notre-Dame de Lourdes, close to the cemetery, comprises fourteen stations. Anyone who would like to discover a religiously significant site alongside outdoor activities and wildlife experiences will find another distinct reason to visit here.

Getting there and choosing accommodation

Vaux-Sur-Sûre can be reached via the E411 motorway, exit 27. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, it is worth deciding first what kind of travel rhythm you want: should the trip focus mainly on the Promenade des Sources and the forest trails, should wildlife experiences at the ZooParc take centre stage, or would you like to combine nature with the Stations of the Cross?

Boucle 4 VTC also starts at the Vaux-Sur-Sûre tourist office (Vauxhall).
