There is plenty to discover in this area. The regional dishes from this area are just as diverse as the landscape.
Varied landscapes
The Couvin region, in the south of'les Vallées des Eaux Vives\\\', is an area known for its rivers, lakes and forests. It is full of unique natural wealth with three geographical zones, each with its own landscape, flora and fauna. From the Fagnes (la Fagne) with wooded valleys, the Kalkstreek (la Calestienne) with rocky hills to the Ardennes (l\\\'Ardenne) with impressive forest areas. More than half of the commune of Couvin consists of forest, so it is a beautiful area to discover.
The town of Couvin
The town of Couvin is beautifully situated at the foot of a steep rock formation and on the banks of the river L\\\'Eau Noire. Here, in addition to the shops of the modern city, you will also discover the Old Couvin, which was once surrounded by ramparts - the old halls and the houses from the 18th and 19th centuries are definitely worth a visit.
The Good Cities
Couvin used to belong to the Good Cities, a group of the most important places in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. To get the status of Good City, a city had to be walled. If that was not the case, the city got the right to build a wall. Around Couvin you will find many more nice places. There are twelve villages here, each of them picturesque places that you really have to take a look.
