This route takes you from the German-speaking region of the Eastern Cantons in Eupen to the Flemish region of the Voer in Remerdael, following a mainly rural route with plenty of paths and tracks that sometimes hold a few surprises in store. I’ll leave you to discover them for yourselves as you explore these paths that I’ve enjoyed so much.

Departure from Raeren (Province de Liège)
Dropped off at the Tina car park in Raeren (B), you’ll discover the early days of India. The route follows the river, which, growing ever deeper, carves its valley through woods, heathland and meadows. It is fed by eight tributaries and once powered a network of watermills, which can still be seen in their original state. After the town of Kornelimünster (D) and its basilica dedicated to St Cornelius (founded in 814 by Louis the Pious, son and successor of Charlemagne), the river resumes its course to flow into the Rur, which joins the Meuse at Roermond (NL). You leave the Inder at Brand Aachen (D) at the car park on the Freunder Landstrasse L220, where your driver will collect you.
