Here you are at the highest point in Belgium and therefore also the highest in Wallonia. The tower was built in 1919 and is known as the Botrange signal. The top of the tower reaches 694m above sea level. In this climate it serves as a weather station. It is located in the "Hautes Fagnes Plateau" area in the province of Liège.

Beautiful view from the platform with orientation board, across the street, over the Walloon Venn. Highest point of Belgium with 700m above sea level. To reach this height, a 6m high hill was added. In the restaurant there are delicious coffee and cake.

Netflix set up a finish area at Signal Botrange for a Tour de France documentary. It was 7m high, making it the highest point in Belgium.
My buddies had made a trip there in good time, I arrived too late and it had already been dismantled.

The main road up here is definitely not so pleasant with the many cars, but downhill it is all the better

Since there is quite a lot of traffic on the access road, the bike lanes coming from Sourbrodt are really pleasant.

That sounds like an incredible experience at Mont Netflix! It’s amazing how Netflix turned it into such a highlight for the Tour de France documentary. If you missed the trip, you can still catch all the action by streaming it online. I highly recommend visiting Netflix’s website ( netmirrors.app ) or downloading the Netflix iOS app for free to enjoy top documentaries and shows anytime!

The High Fens are always beautiful, even more so in autumn... And the climb to the Signal de Botrange from any direction presents a wonderful sporting challenge.

Signal de Botrange is the highest point in Belgium, located in the High Fens (French: Hautes Fagnes), a nature reserve in the east of the country. It lies at an altitude of 694 meters above sea level, in the province of Liège, near the village of Baraque Michel.

Characteristics:

• Geographical point: It is officially the highest natural point in Belgium.

• Viewing platform: At the summit stands a stone observation tower (the "Bétonnée"), built in 1923, which raises the point to exactly 700 meters for symbolic purposes.

• Environment: The surrounding area consists of extensive peatlands, pine forests, and heathland – part of the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park.

• Activities: The area is popular for hiking, cross-country skiing (in winter), and nature watching. There are well-marked hiking trails and wooden walkways across the marshy terrain.

Signal de Botrange is the highest point in Belgium, with a natural elevation of 694 meters above sea level. It is located in the province of Liège, in the east of the country, in the heart of the High Fens (French: Hautes Fagnes) nature reserve, near the village of Waimes.

🗺️ Geographic highest point: It is officially the highest natural point on Belgian territory.

🏔️ Artificial elevation: In 1923, a 6-meter stone stepped tower was built on the summit, allowing visitors to stand "at 700 meters." This symbolically emphasized the country's highest point.

🌿 Landscape: The environment is unique in Belgium: vast peatlands, wet heathlands, and rare flora and fauna characterize this high plateau.

❄️ Climate: It is also the coldest and snowiest region in Belgium, making it a popular spot for cross-country skiers in winter.

When Netflix put up a finish area at Signal de Botrange for their Tour de France documentary, the 694-meter-highest point in Belgium momentarily gained an additional 7 meters of notoriety, making it the unofficial highest point in the nation! Regretfully, I got there too late to join my RC Dorff friends, who had the perfect timing. Don't worry if you missed it too; you can still watch every moment of it online. Using a free streaming software like MovieBox, I would suggest watching the documentary. Simply search for the moviebox ( movieboxhub.app ), download it from their website, and enjoy the voyage from any location!

Unfortunately, my pals from RC Dorff had the ideal time and I arrived too late to join them. You can still watch every second of it online, so don't worry if you missed it too. I would recommend watching the documentary with a free streaming app like Kisskh. Just download the Kisskh Apk from their website, search for it ( kisskhd.app ), and enjoy the journey from anywhere!
