The High Fens (or Hautes Fagnes in French) are one of the most unique and unspoilt natural areas in Belgium, located in the Parc Naturel des Hautes-Fagnes – Eifel, which stretches across both Belgium and a small part of Germany. This area, often considered the highest point in Belgium, is known for its breathtaking nature, vast raised bogs, marshes, forests and heathlands. It is a paradise for nature lovers, hikers and bird watchers.
