À travers les Fagnes

The Walloon Fens was an absolute highlight for us. Endless views of the great Venn landscape, simply wonderful

During a hike or a walk, the impressive natural beauties of the High Fens are particularly easy to discover. For this purpose, paths and wooden walkways were laid through the raised bog. To protect the unique flora and fauna, however, access is regulated and divided into three zones. Certain zones are only accessible in the company of recognized nature guides.

What could be nicer than walking over wooden walkways through the mystical High Fens? An absolute highlight in any weather!

The diversity and beauty of the high moor landscape of the Walloon Fens make a hike an unforgettable experience in every season. Pictures say more than a thousand words.

We had been to Baraque Michel and Signal de Botrange many times for cross-country skiing, but thanks to Komoot we found this beautiful circular walk. Enchanting, especially since there was snow just today!

The Walloon Fens are worth a visit at any time of the year. Please do not leave the existing footbridges in order to protect the flora. Please plan enough time, you can spend endless amounts of time admiring the fen landscape and always discovering new and interesting things.

Signal de Botrange 694m, UN Country High Point.
I walked this along with Kneif 560m (Luxembourg) and Vaalserberg 321m (Netherlands) so that I could say I did the Benelux three peaks in one day.

8km, 2hrs, ascent 96m.
A flat forest and duckboard walk through lovely countryside to take in Belgium's country HP. The duckboards take you over marshland and even though it is very flat we enjoyed ourselves. Parking and restaurant at the start and at the summit/top.

The Venn-unique, wildly authentic & wonderful.
