Our most beautiful nature walks"},"content":{"rendered":"

Spring is starting to arrive in Beauraing. The days are getting longer, the light is softer and, on forest floors and woodland paths, the first flowers are appearing. Before the spectacular blooms in places such as the Bois de Hal, nature is awakening here, in the peaceful landscapes of\u00a0the Famenne-Ardenne Geopark<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Want to see snowdrops, wild daffodils or carpets of anemones? Here are our most beautiful spring walks in Beauraing.<\/p>\n

Snowdrops: the first harbingers of the end of winter<\/h2>\n

From February onwards, snowdrops sometimes pierce through a thin layer of snow. Their common name refers to several plants in the Amaryllidaceae family, recognisable by their delicate white bells tipped with green. Discreet but hardy, they herald the arrival of spring.<\/p>\n

Wild crocuses: an explosion of colour in February\u2013March<\/h2>\n

Among the very first flowers to bloom, crocuses brighten up meadows and field edges. Some species are protected in the wild, so please don\u2019t pick them. They are also honey plants \u2014 bees and bumblebees linger there as soon as the first rays of sunshine appear. A discreet but precious spectacle for local biodiversity.<\/p>\n

Daffodils or narcissi? A brief springtime botany lesson<\/h2>\n

We often talk about daffodils\u2026 but botanically speaking, the daffodil (Narcissus jonquilla) is a specific species of the genus Narcissus. All daffodils are narcissi. But not all narcissi are daffodils. When in doubt, use \u2018narcissus\u2019 \u2014 it\u2019s never wrong.<\/p>\n

In Beauraing, they bring bright yellow touches to the slopes and clearings from March onwards.<\/p>\n

Wood anemone: the white carpet of the undergrowth<\/h2>\n

The wood anemone (Anemonoides nemorosa), also known as the wood anemone, transforms certain undergrowth areas into true white carpets. Its flowering season, between March and April, creates an almost magical atmosphere. A fleeting moment that deserves to be observed with delicacy.<\/p>\n

Coltsfoot: the sunflower that heralds the end of winter<\/h2>\n

Even before the leaves appear, small bright yellow flowers appear along embankments, ditches and roadsides: this is coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara<\/em>). It is often seen in February or March, growing alone, like a little sun resting on the still-cold earth. Its name comes from the Latin tussis (cough) and agere (to drive away): literally, \u2018the one that drives away coughs\u2019.<\/p>\n
