Schwarzsee (Hautes Fagnes – Eifel Nature Park)

Highlight • Lake

the Schwarzsee pond, which bears its name because of the dark color of its water. This little corner of paradise is ideal for a picnic break

Perlenbach-Fuhrtsbach Valley System

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The valley system includes a wonderful section in nature. Relatively little traffic, there is a new beautiful view at every corner. The cycle path itself is a bit bumpy in the Perlenbachtal, but still easy to ride on. In the Fuhrtsbachtal the path is very good. Both paths are not paved.

View of the High Fens Plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Hohe Venn" is a high moor with such special flora and fauna, that here everything is under nature protection. It is Belgium's largest nature reserve.

The landscape here is very open and overgrown with typical moorland plants. I have not tried it, but I'm pretty sure you would immediately sink knee deep into the mud as soon as you leave one of the trails. The view up here definitely makes for "wow" moments.

Marsh landscape in Hautes Fagnes – Eifel Nature Park

Highlight • Natural

With its unspoilt nature, numerous hiking opportunities and the unique panoramic view, the Walloon Fens cannot be surpassed when it comes to hiking.

Gravel path with a panoramic view of the Hautes Fagnes

Highlight • Trail

In the valley you cross the Rur over wooden planking. In winter (thaw) or after long periods of rain, this crossing may be flooded, but is still passable by bicycle. But for those who travel on foot, the worst case scenario is: “shoes off or wet feet.”

View of the High Fens from the Signal de Botrange

Highlight • Viewpoint

As part of a hike, you should also visit this viewing platform. A wonderful view opens up beyond the Walloon Fens, including in the direction of Kalterherberg. When the weather is clear, you can even see the steeples of the village church in Kalterherberg.
