Good point of this trail in Eastern Belgium, near the border with Germany, is its diversity of landscapes. The Haute Fagnes - High Moors - is a desolate high plane, at its best when it's raining and getting dark. The surroundings of the city of Luik, Liège, is special because of its industrial and mining history. Then you will also visit the old city of Spa. A real spa, so to say. This trail will bring you to Belgium's highest point: Botrange, 694 m.
