Eupen walks

For those who like to cover a lot of ground, there are various forests (coniferous and deciduous) to explore, as well as the boardwalks and peat bogs of the Hautes Fagnes.

A lovely walk around an engineering structure between spruce and oak forests. Along forest paths, you will discover the beautiful Helle Valley and the Vesdre dam lake at the confluence of the Getz and Vesdre (Weser) rivers.

Do you like moorland landscapes? Are you fond of boardwalks? Then you should enjoy this walk! This walk takes you to the Brackvenn moor, near the German border. The walk takes place in the forest, in the moors, along stretches of water... The landscapes are varied and truly delightful.

This hike will delight lovers of the Hautes-Fagnes and wetlands. The highlights include the boardwalks in the southern part of Brackvenn, the trail in the Spohrbach valley, the confluence of the Spohrbach and the Helle (Hill in German) and the border marker trail (at the end of the route).

A gentle descent along the Inde river in the Fagnes, from Raeren to Kornelimünster. You will discover the old water mills of the town dedicated to Saint Kornelius since Louis the Pious.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hike with quite a few forest trails.

Route from the village of Herbiester, mainly through beautiful forests with changing scenery, downhill towards the Gileppe to the bottom of the dam lake of the same name, and back up to the village. A significant part of the route is on small asphalt roads: between the crossing points (S/E) to (2) and (4) to (6), plus the short return to the village.

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.

A very pleasant, signposted walk starting from the Eau Noire car park. The route is completely flat and easy in the Hautes Fagnes, with part of it on duckboards.The only downside is that, depending on the wind direction, you may be able to hear the Spa-Francorchamps route in the distance if it is in use, as is the case for all walks in the region.

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?

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

The hike starts at the Collège Notre-Dame in Gemmenich. This is a very beautiful hike that alternates between small roads, forest paths and trails along streams, with magnificent views of the Moresnet viaduct.

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.
