Albert Canal at Cannerberg

Highlight • River

Photogenic place of the canal...

5.78 km

The current bridge was inaugurated on Friday, September 22, 2004, as a commemorative plaque indicates. Pedestrians don't have to walk it all the way from end to end thanks to the stairs. There are also benches on both sides of the bridge to take in the view over the water or just take a break.

Fort Eben-Emael

Highlight • Historical Site

Like the French buildings of the 16th century, it was built in the shape of a pentagon and is surrounded by an impressive protective structure against tank attacks.

Sentier des Meuniers in Réserve Naturelle Heyoule

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Partly normal path and then a hollow road with a fairly steep drop that follows the dry valley through the Heyoule nature reserve (see the highlight). The ideal habitat for many animals that love it, such as the badger, as you also notice when you look around you during the descent. The path was named "Sentier des Meuniers" and continues into the "Chemin des Meuniers" but by then it is already a lot flatter and not a sunken road but a nice path along the nature reserve with some beautiful views at first. At the end you can climb the (many) stairs to the caves and quarries of Thier de Lanaye.

Thier de Lanaye Underground Quarries

Highlight • Cave

The centuries-long exploitation of marl in this region has created an impressive network of underground galleries, which have now become one of the most important wintering centers for thousands of bats from all over Western Europe.

Stairs to Thier des Vignes

Highlight • Climb

Anyone who likes long and many stairs to bridge height differences will undoubtedly find what they are looking for in the region :) Also stop for the views! This staircase starts at the small car park at the bridge to Lanaye and ends at the nature reserve "Thier des Vignes" (part of the larger Sint-Pietersberg whole), as indicated by various signs.

Today a tour that has been on my list for a long time: the Belgian Fort Ében-Emael south of Maastricht and the Reserve Naturel Heyoulle in the Montagne St. Pierre (part of the Mergelland).
From the parking lot of the fort we started in the direction of Kanne (unfortunately the grottos there were not accessible today) and across the Albert …

Sint- Hubertus showed us the way to the Jeker, the view along the Albert Canal already deserved a nice cup🏞... We …
