Sankt Vith 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.
From Bêche to Bêche
Discover the landscapes and history of the people who shaped the Salm region. A lovely walk with very little road, mainly forest paths. Beautiful views at Bec du Corbeau, where history and nature come together on this walk.
A few markers on the Ourthe side
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.

Tour of Lake Bütgenbach
An easy hike with no difficulty, virtually no elevation gain and beautiful scenery... nothing but pleasure!!!
Waimes and the panoramic views of the Warche
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.
From Bayehon to Reinhardstein Castle
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.
The Crêtes de la Warche from Xhoffraix
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.
Bayehon Walk - Mill and Waterfall
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.
Trois-Ponts - Vielsalm
La Salm Valley, whose real name is Le Glain
This stage ofthe GRP®571leaves the Amblève Valley and heads up the slopes of the La Salm Valley, known as Le Glain. The route changes banks several times until it reaches Vielsalm in the Pays des Macralles.
Over hill and dale around Trois-Ponts
The surroundings of Trois-Ponts and Coo are mainly forested, with paths and trails running through coniferous and deciduous trees. The rugged terrain highlights the panoramic views of the Ardennes and promises a sometimes very challenging route. In the heart of nature, the route connects with the site of Coo and its lower lake before returning to Trois-Ponts, again mainly through the woods.
Nature getaway in Sterpigny
Crossed by the Ourthe Orientale, Gouvy boasts magnificent landscapes to be discovered along the water, countryside and forests alternating between deciduous and coniferous trees. In autumn, it is of course the deciduous trees that make the biggest impression!
The Luxembourg Ardennes between Troisvierges and Drauffelt
Set off to explore the north of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and, in particular, Clervaux Abbey.
Please note: this hike is not circular and is based on the concept of walks from station to station. We chose to leave our vehicle at the free P+R car park at Drauffelt station, from where the train takes hikers to Troisvierges free of charge (1 train per hour on track 1).
The Balade des Gens Heureux in Sourbrodt (Waimes)
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.
Heading for the Signal de Botrange
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?
Cherain - Rettigny et la vallée de l' Ourthe
This is a reposing walk between the fields and along small rivers. Recommend for people who love the country and nature.
Bieley Rock
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.
The Malchamps fens
Walk in the Malchamps Fagnes region through peat bogs, forests and meadows. Set off at sunrise with the sound of deer bellowing in the background.
On the roof of Belgium
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.
Family walk starting from Baraque Michel
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.
Tour du Noir Flohay
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.
Loop around Creppe from Bérinzenne
Starting from the car park at Domaine de Bérinzenne, the hike begins by crossing the site before gradually entering the forest for just over a third of its total distance. This is followed by a few kilometres of countryside around the village of Creppe before rejoining the forest at the bottom of the Bois de Mambaye. After passing the castle of the same name, which has been converted into a nature education centre, the route quickly joins the Meyerbeer stream and follows it upstream to the Fontaine de Géronstère, one of the many springs in the spa town. Food and refreshments are available on site. Return through the forest and uphill to the starting point.
Clervaux and the Irbich Valley
A climb from Clervaux to a superb view of the abbey bell tower and the valley, then a route mainly through forest, finally returning along the Irbich river on country roads or dirt tracks.
You can shorten the walk by continuing from (6) to Drauffelt station (6 km in total) and returning by train (free on the GDL).
Circular forest in Reichenstein
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.
Circular from Reichenstein to the Schwarzbach pond via Kreuz im Venn
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.
Solwaster Sawe
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).
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.
From La Sawe to La Statte along the water
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.
Around the Bernistap Canal
The Bernistap Canal is a section of the canal that the Dutch had planned to build to link the Rhine to the Meuse via the Moselle and the Ourthe. Begun in 1827 during the reign of WilliamI, King of the Netherlands, work was suspended in 1830 during the Belgian revolution and finally abandoned when the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg gained independence. This canal has an underground section, the entrance to which on the Belgian side is still visible at km 1, if you are feeling adventurous. A few information panels are located along the canal between km 1 and km 2, as well as on the Luxembourg side (except for the section leading to the village of Hoffelt).
