Every autumn, the Ardennes forest resounds with a unique and bewitching sound: the stag's bellow. A true king of the woods, the stag puts on a show during this fascinating period when it asserts its power and seeks to seduce. On Friday, September 26, 2025 from 6.30pm, the La Roche-Champlon Youthhostel invites you to enjoy this wild experience in the heart of nature.
The evening begins at 6.30pm with a warm welcome at thehostel. After a delicious three-course meal, you'll have the chance to delve into the world of deer thanks to an exciting animation offered in partnership with the CRIE de Saint-Hubert. This interactive presentation will reveal the secrets of the deer's life: its role in the ecosystem, its behavior during the bellowing season, and the traditions that surround this unique moment.
Once night has fallen, it's time for a sensory experience: equipped with listening points provided by thehostel, you'll head off into the surrounding forest on your own, to hear the bellowing sound echoing in the darkness. A moment out of time, where the magic of nature is intensely experienced.
This evening is offered in two formulas:
Payment is made on site, by card or cash, on the evening of the event.
