Hiking

This boundary stone is one of several remnants of former border lines. From 1816, a national border ran across the high plateau of the High Fens: initially between the Netherlands and Prussia, from 1830 between Belgium and Prussia, and from 1870 between Belgium and Germany. The line stretched from Eupen up the Hill to its source, continued to Baraque Michel, and along the Neue Vequée to just before Hockai. From there, it continued along the Rotwasserbach (Eau Rouge) towards Malmedy.

Hiking

The original boundary markers in the High Fens were initially placed in 1817 in the form of oak posts, following the establishment of the border between Prussia and the Kingdom of the Netherlands after the Congress of Vienna in 1815. From around 1840, the wooden posts were gradually replaced by stone boundary stones. These stones were numbered along the entire former border.
