Welcome to Access-i

Musée de la Maison du Parc naturel Hautes Fagnes - Eifel

Just a stone's throw from Belgium's largest nature reserve, FANIA, the museum's permanent exhibition, is original, informative, interactive, fun and aesthetic, and presents the High Fens in all its states!

Throughout the exhibition, guided by a duckboard, visitors discover the particularities of the High Fens (climate, relief, subsoil, natural landscapes, etc.)

To end on a playful note, a sensory tunnel plunges visitors into the mysterious atmosphere of the High Fens, where they can listen to the morning birdsong, the sounds of the night, sneak, like a fox, into a burrow or climb, like a squirrel, into a nest made of branches.
