High Fens

Highlight • Natural

A unique heather landscape heralds the High Fens, which one passes on this section. The fascinating high moor area is a gigantic water reservoir, so that there are numerous streams and rivers to be bridged on this section. Past the former station building of Sourbrodt, the Vennbahntrasse paves its way between the two lakes of Robertville and Bütgenbach and finally ends in Waimes (Weismes).

Sourbrodt Signal Box and Old Locomotive

Highlight • Monument

A former train stop became the Vennbahn's most representative building. When the Malmedy-Montjoie section was inaugurated, Sourbrodt had only one stop. The first houses were about a kilometre from this stop. But it didn't stop there. In 1889, a new station was built in Sourbrodt, four years after the first Vennbahn train stopped there. It was to become a jewel of the time. Today, the bricks above the doors and windows and the stucco decorations on the upper part of the gable are reminders of the once magnificent building.

Vennbahn Cycle Path (RAVeL L48) – Hautes Fagnes – Eifel Nature Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A fairly beautiful section of the Vennbahn cycle path runs here partly along the trolley track through the Venn.

The Vennbahn Cycle Path is one of the longest cross-border railway cycle paths in Europe and meanders from Germany through Belgium to Luxembourg.

The Vennbahn cycle path near Kalterherberg

Highlight • Bridge

The Vennbahn cycle path is perfect for a leisurely bike ride in beautiful countryside.
The Vennbahn cycle path is relatively busy on Sundays. During the week it is even more beautiful.
A great route to ride, no matter where you start. A real pleasure and balm for the soul.

Mützenich — Former Train Station Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Rest area at the former Mützenich train station. The place name Mützenich may indicate a Roman settlement: Mutiniacum. Around 1783 the corpse of a Roman legionnaire in full armor was found under a stick dam in the Fens. The Roman helmet is part of the municipal coat of arms.

June 25, 2026,🇧🇪🇩🇪 Stausee Bütgenbach, Vennbahn Radweg und Monschau😍

Today, pure enjoyment is our credo, and so we first go for a really nice swim in the Bütgenbach reservoir 🥰.
It has wonderfully clean water, and there are many small bathing coves on the side facing away from the town. We claim one of them with the electric ponies, and while they wait, we work on our swimming skills …
