Amel walks

Mostly wooded, this circular offers beautiful views on clear days over the countryside south of the German border towards Mützenich... not to be confused with the village of the same name in the municipality of Monschau, further north.

An easy hike with no difficulty, virtually no elevation gain and beautiful scenery... nothing but pleasure!!!

This marked walk, which appears on various walking maps, is one of the most beautiful walks in Belgium. It offers superb views of Reinhardstein Castle, which the walk passes by.

Varied route through forests, along a river and around Lake Robertville. With beautiful views of Reinhardstein Castle.

Start and finish at the chapel in Tinseubois, where there is a small car park. It is easy to get there via the hamlet of Poteau or via Blanchefontaine. At the Ferme des Mauvaises, take the path to the right of the stone marker, then follow the meadow; you are on the former Belgian-Prussian border, which today separates the province of Liège from the province of Luxembourg. After 1.1 km, a path on the right will take you to Dewulf Road, which you’ll need to cross to reach the Schmitz Cross 1.75 km further on.If, by chance, you spot a beaver, please make sure you remain quiet.

The Bayehon is known for its waterfall, the second largest in Belgium after Coo. There are many Pouhon springs, naturally carbonated mineral springs, to discover along the route. You will finish with a tour of Reinhardstein Castle.

A pleasant walk that will take you to the Bayehon Waterfall, the second largest in Belgium. It is fed by the Hautes Fagnes springs, so its flow varies depending on the season. The route takes you through different types of vegetation, from deciduous trees to pines and the Fagne. Most of the route follows streams, which are crossed numerous times by small bridges.

A splendid hike along the Warche ridges, offering superb panoramic views of the region.The highlight is the beautifully renovated Reinhardstein Castle. In the early 1970s, it was a real ruin that we never imagined would be reborn in such a way! The first 2 kilometres of the walk take place in the countryside. The rest is almost entirely forest, passing notably by the rocky outcrop known as 'Nez de Napoléon', the Robertville dam, the Kalbusch Mill (campsite and tavern open from Thursday to Sunday) and the impressive Warche Quarry.

A walk through the heart of the Elsenborn and Rocherarth forests will take you to a viewpoint that is unique in Belgium: Bieley Rock. A fairy-tale view of a valley with a small stream winding through it, reflecting a thousand colours. Whatever the season or weather, the incredible view from this spot is definitely worth the detour. Moderator's note: please read the reviews carefully: some periods are dangerous due to live fire training at the Elsenborn camp.

A forest trail where you can discover the flora and old boundary markers marking the border between Belgium and Prussia. Although heather is mentioned, this walk can be enjoyed at any time of year.

Lost in the woods, the old boundary markers demarcating the border between Belgium and Prussia still stand proudly there.

A very pleasant, signposted walk starting from the Eau Noire car park. The route is entirely flat and presents no difficulty in the Hautes Fagnes, with part of it on boardwalks.The only downside: depending on the wind direction, you can hear the Spa-Francorchamps route in the distance if it is in operation, as is the case with all walks in the region.

This hike takes you to the heart of a demanding and authentic natural environment, where water shapes the landscape and the wind preserves the memory of places. Former military camps, Germanic-influenced place names and rugged terrain tell a story marked by borders and time.Peat bogs formed after the last ice age, acidic soils and schistose rocks make up the typical landscape of the Hautes Fagnes. Clear streams, dark rivers laden with peat and cold springs accompany the walk.Deep forests, open moors and clearings follow one another, sheltering discreet fauna and specialised flora. A hike that is both wild and soothing, ideal for celebrating a special moment in an unspoilt landscape.

Walk along rivers through a canyon and tour of the Moûpa area.

Virtual treasure hunt with the TOTEMUS app in search of the highest point in Belgium: Head for the highest point in Belgium Easy route leading from the Park House to the Signal de Botrange and back to the Park House. After all that effort, what could be better than enjoying a drink or treating yourself to a light meal?

A 12 km journey that can be done by mountain bike as well as on foot. The route passes through Commanster, a village nestled in the heart of the forest. This walk offers an opportunity to discover what ‘abissage’ is.

In the Grand-Bois forest in Vielsalm, starting from the Bêchefa clearing, the walk takes you through the Jardin sauvage and three arboretums. The two most recent are around thirty years old; the third, over a century old, is home to trees of impressive size. This walk largely follows a route marked in red by the forestry services. However, the marked route does not pass through the "Jardin sauvage".

The idea is the GR® 56 but with a little adventure. As a result, we get lost on the edge of the National. The signposting is good, the trails magnificent. This route can be done in two days with a night at the restaurant hotel in Malmedy, covering 16 kilometres on the first day and 20 kilometres on the second to return to the vehicle at Mont Rigi.

A circular route almost entirely through woodland along the River Roannay. This route combines two walks: Le Roannay, Yellow Cross and Hé Stienne Red Rectangles.

A walk with varied landscapes in the Hautes Fagnes Nature Park. There are many walks to enjoy in this region with its extraordinary landscapes. I invite you to discover the hike we did as a family in July 2019. The children enjoyed the watchtowers, the duckboards, the streams... We even saw a deer. If necessary, it is possible to shorten this route. It is an easy hike as there is little elevation gain, but the path is uneven in places.

This hike on the Hautes Fagnes plateau in the Hautes-Fagnes-Eifel Natural Park will take you to the highest point in Belgium, where you can discover its unique flora and landscape. The hike is more enjoyable during the week (fewer people) in good weather or when there is snow on the ground.

Discover Noir Flohay, a group of petrified pine trees. In the middle of this landscape typical of the Hautes Fagnes, the return journey is along the Helle, a small river that rises in the Fagnes. There are two possible shortcuts, for circuits of approximately 7 and 13 km respectively.

The Hautes-Fagnes plateau is pure bliss! Everything there is magnificent... whether the weather is blue skies, mist or snow. Do avoid weekends (too crowded) or rainy weather, however!The two iconic rivers that rise on this plateau near Baraque Michel are the Helle and the Hoëgne. Both are tributaries of the Vesdre, the former at Eupen, the latter at Pepinster.

A forest walk that crosses the border (a little) into Belgium and (a lot) into Germany. Starting from the Reichenstein stop on the Vennbahn, the hike begins in the direction of Kreuz im Venn and its cave before crossing Ruitzhof, a German hamlet enclaved in Belgium, and then reaching the pretty Rur valley.Different atmospheres guaranteed depending on the season.

This cross-border walk on the border between the Hautes Fagnes and Germany between Montjoie (Monschau) and Sourbrodt (Waimes) starts on the RAVeL (Belgian enclave of the Vennbahn) at the former Reichenstein stop near the Reichenstein Convent (Kloster) on the road between Mützenich and Kalterherberg.Discover this pure joy away from the tourist crowds in the Hautes Fagnes.

You will have covered almost 18 kilometres and will see two other very different types of boundary markers: two stone markers marking the former Belgian-Prussian border and two metal markers, still in use today, between Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.The Ourthe river is not very visible, but you will be riding alongside a beautiful nature reserve along its tributary at the end of the route, called Fooschtbaach in the Grand Duchy and Pihon in Belgium.

The route is marked (yellow rectangles) and shown on the "Jalhay-Spa-Stavelot-Theux" walking map, available from the Tourist Office.The first half is a superb walk (with a few difficult and potentially slippery sections) along the Sawe.The second half (when you leave the Sawe) is the return to Solwaster on a more relaxing but more mundane path.There is also the option of a longer 8.5 km version (blue rectangles).

Solwaster, a small village at the foot of the fagne, 16 km from Verviers, is unique in that it is located between two of the most beautiful rivers in the fagne: the Statte, which rises in the peat bogs of the Hautes-Fagnes, in the Wihonfagne fagne, and the Hoëgne, which rises in the Polleur fagne. These two rivers welcome us into a magical landscape of fens and forests.

This magnificent walk, mainly through woodland, offers a leisurely exploration of two of the three iconic streams of the Hautes-Fagnes on the south-western side of Baraque Michel. The route follows one stream upstream and the other downstream.Feel free to walk the route in both directions, as the experience of a rushing stream is often better when walking upstream. You will most likely discover other aspects of it.The third stream in the region is the Sawe, which the route follows very briefly between kilometres 2 and 3. Numerous footbridges and boardwalks make it easier to navigate this wild, picturesque, sometimes chaotic, sometimes muddy environment, where the paths are covered in rocks and roots.

The Sawe and the Statte are two beautiful streams that cascade down from the Fagnes plateau and converge near the village of Solwaster. The ascent of the Sawe is surprising for the diversity of views in the forest and valley. The only thing missing is the Nutons. After crossing the Fagne and its typical open landscapes, you reach the Statte, which you descend along its waterfalls. Water is omnipresent on this route.
