Purely geologically, the High Fens is neither part of the Northern Eifel nor the Ardennes, even if both are said again and again. It forms the core of a large, vault-like arch with the oldest layers. Geologists have coined the term “Stavelot massif” for the area.

Hiking

Due to the very well laid out network of paths in the Walloon Fens, you have the best opportunities to enjoy the scenic beauty on boardwalks, nature trails and forest paths.

Large areas of the Fen landscape are formed as raised and fens, which is where the name comes from: Venn, Fenn (Dutch Veen) for moor.
