Boussu-en-Fagne is a village in Wallonia, Belgium. It is part of the municipality of Couvin in the Namur Province.
Archaeological excavations in the area have revealed a Neolithic settlement as well as a large Roman villa, and a subsidiary Roman road. Merovingian graves have also been discovered. From the early Middle Ages, the territory gradually became part of the lands of the lords of Chimay. A forge operated in the village between 1494 and 1850. A castle, château de Boussu-en-Fagne, was built here, burnt down by Spanish troops before 1565 and successively rebuilt. Its current appearance is in a Gothic Revival style. In addition, there is a smaller manor house further along the road to Frasnes-lez-Couvin , called the manoir de la Motte. The current village church is from 1855. [1] [2]

The High Fens, which were declared a nature reserve in 1957, are an upland area, a plateau region in Liège Province, in the east of Belgium and adjoining parts of Germany, between the Ardennes and the Eifel highlands. The High Fens are the largest nature reserve or park in Belgium, with an area of 4,501.2 ha ; it lies within the German-Belgian natural park Hohes Venn-Eifel, in the Ardennes. Its highest point, at 694 metres (2,277 ft) above sea level, is the Signal de Botrange near Eupen, and also the highest point in Belgium. A tower 6 metres (20 ft) high was built here that reaches 700 metres (2,297 ft) above sea level. The reserve is a rich ecological endowment of Belgium covered with alpine sphagnum raised bogs both on the plateau and in the valley basin; the bogs, which are over 10,000 years old, with their unique subalpine flora, fauna and microclimate, are key to the conservation work of the park.
