Departure from Plombières (Province de Liège)
A few kilometres from the tri-border point (Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands), the walk winds its way through wooded countryside, streams and sunken lanes. It benefits from a microclimate that shields the area from the north winds. Old farms and mills will delight you as you explore.

Departure from Voeren (Province de Limbourg)
In the Pays de Herve, known for its hedgerows and livestock farming, Aubel is the land of syrup made from apples, pears and, in some cases, sugar beet... a real treat for many enthusiasts. The Fourons, which became a Limburg enclave after the political and linguistic disputes between Flemish and Walloons ended in the late 20th century, offer the same type of rolling countryside, but with a little more woodland. The region is also renowned, like the English countryside, for its countless country lanes, cattle grids, turnstiles and gates that prevent livestock from escaping onto the roads, into fields or into neighbours' pastures. Hikers will discover monumental churches as well as countless crosses, chapels and shrines.

Departure from Voeren (Province de Limbourg)
A very beautiful, somewhat hilly hike starting from Fouron-Saint-Pierre, taking you through the Konenbos, Veursbos and Vrouwenbos forest reserves, interspersed with more rural landscapes. The route also crosses the Pietershof vineyard. At the end of the walk, you can take a break at the Commanderie, either to visit the site or to enjoy a delicious rainbow trout, as there is a fish farm (the oldest in Belgium!) next door.
