Marais d'Harchies-Hensies-Pommerœul Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Like most of the wetlands in the Haine valley, the Harchies-Hensies-Pommeroeul marshes were formed in subsidence caused by mining. The depressions were formed in the mid-1920s and immediately filled with water. This is how the ponds we can still see today were formed. The fact that mining was once practiced is still visible in the many mine heaps. These very dry and warm environments are home to a special flora and fauna. However, the greatest interest of the 'Marais d'Harchies-Hensies-Pommeroeul' lies in the wetlands. The ponds and their bankside vegetation cover a large area.Museum description: A magnificent natural area The marshes are the largest reed-covered area in Wallonia (more than 50 hectares). The number of animal species is not that great, but they are rare and some are even threatened with extinction. More than 300 species have already been observed there and about 100 of them have bred there at least once. Some species have not been observed in recent years, but others have recently settled there.

Les Catillons

Highlight • Natural Monument

Located in the heart of the Haine valley, between Mons and Tournai, the marshy complex of Harchies-Hensies-Pommeroeul, better known as the Marais d'Harchies, is a major site for the fauna and flora of Wallonia. Covering an area of 550 hectares, this site of great biological interest is home to many species and constitutes an important transit site during bird migration and offers ideal conditions for the nesting and wintering of numerous species. Its registration as a “Ramsar” wetland confirms its importance on an international scale.
