GR®14 Ardennes trail

From Corbion (Belgium) to Giffaumont-Champaubert (Marne)

The GR®14, the Ardennes Trail, is a long-distance hiking route that connects the Belgian Ardennes (Corbion) to the Champagne region of France, ending near Lac du Der (Giffaumont-Champaubert). The landscape is initially characterized by the dense forests and steep-sided valleys of the Ardennes (schist and sandstone), before softening towards the plains and hedged farmlands of Champagne. The flora is dominated by large forests of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a wild environment conducive to solitude. The history of the trail testifies to the strategic importance of this border area, marked by medieval legends and the traces of world conflicts. The fauna is particularly rich in game (deer, wild boar) in the Ardennes massif, and is further enhanced by remarkable birdlife near the end of the trail at Lac du Der.
