Tree tunnel of Haut-Maret, Protected heritage tree tunnel in Theux, Belgium.

The tree tunnel of Haut-Maret spans over 1200 meters with parallel rows of hornbeam trees forming a natural covered pathway near La Reid.

Created in 1885 for estate visitors, the tunnel experienced damage during World War II when German tanks moved through the structure in May 1940.

Students from La Reid's provincial agricultural institute dedicate one month each year to maintain this green corridor as part of their educational program.

The tree tunnel is accessible via Chemin de Quarreux in La Reid, offering visitors a peaceful walking path throughout different seasons of the year.

Local producers created Merveille de la Charmille, a specialty liqueur made from hornbeam buds harvested directly from the tunnel's trees.
