From La Statte to La Hoëgne in Solwaster
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.

La Hoëgne and La Statte
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.

A very beautiful walk through a nature reserve, suitable for all seasons.
Nidrum – Eupen
Here is another remarkable stage. It begins in the meadows of the Belgian highlands and then ‘flirts’ with Belgium’s highest elevations in the Hautes Fagnes, reaching a peak of 638 m; from there, the path descends steadily to Eupen and the Vesdre at an altitude of 263 m. It’s a route that also has a few surprises in store, particularly along the stretch beside the River Helle (Hill in German), where the path zigzags between wooden duckboards and muddy, mostly rocky ground – an environment it seeks to avoid by veering off upwards to… well, I’ll let you discover that for yourselves. A bit of suspense never hurt anyone.
Eupen – Remersdael
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.

Along the India Trail from Raeren (B) to the Brander Wald (Aachen, D)
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.
