Parc naturel des Hauts-Pays, Nature park in Wallonia, Belgium

Located along the Franco-Belgian border in Hainaut Province, the park extends across 15,700 hectares of forests, meadows, valleys, and rivers near Mons and Valenciennes.

The Walloon Government officially recognized the park on July 20, 2000, with Minister José Happart establishing its management commission on April 18, 2002.

The park incorporates six municipalities - Honnelles, Quiévrain, Dour, Colfontaine, Frameries, and Quévy - representing local heritage through preserved landscapes and buildings.

Visitors can explore 300 kilometers of marked trails throughout the park, which feature informative signs and brochures about local landscapes and products.

The area serves as a water divide between two major hydrographic basins: the Scheldt through the Haine River and the Meuse through the Sambre River.
