Bois de la Paix Walk

This 10km walk in Bastogne immerses you in an emblematic place of remembrance and reflection. The Bois de la Paix (Peace Wood) pays tribute to the combatants and civilians who participated in the Battle of the Bulge. This route combines forest paths, clearings, and commemorative passages around this historically significant site, where each planted tree symbolizes a soldier or a witness to the war.

The departure is from the parking lot of the Bastogne War Museum, located near the Mardasson Memorial (Mardasson Hill, 6600 Bastogne).
From the museum, take the marked paths leading to the Bois de la Paix, whose trails wind through a peaceful and symbolic natural space.

• Mardasson Memorial : an iconic monument dedicated to the memory of American soldiers who fell during the Battle of the Bulge.
• Bastogne War Museum : an interactive museum retracing the key events of the Second World War and daily life during the conflict.
• Commemorative stele : several monuments and plaques mark the promenade, in homage to the allied divisions and the resistance fighters.
• Bois de la Paix : a vast symbolic wooded area planted in 1994, forming a stylized map of the world as seen from the sky.

The path loops back on itself, joining the Bastogne War Museum. A final stop at the Bois de la Paix allows you to admire the serenity of the place and the view of the Mardasson, before returning to the car park.
