Wooden boardwalks, expansive peat landscapes, and endless views make the High Fens a unique hiking destination. For example, choose the nature trail through the Poleur Bog near Mont Rigi: an accessible 3.1 km walk with explanations about this unique environment along the way. Prefer a longer trek? Explore the marked routes around Botrange and Baraque Michel.
The waymarked hike 'Panorama of the Warche' takes you from the Robertville dam past Reinhardstein and the Nez de Napoléon. Expect about 5 kilometers with short, steep climbs and beautiful views over the valley.
Looking for a longer walk? Follow the waymarked Venn Trilogy from Robertville to Bütgenbach: an 11.9 km route along the lake, the Warche river, and rural villages. It’s a point-to-point hike, so arrange your return trip in advance.

The first combines the Warche Valley with the heights above Malmedy; the longer ride offers challenging climbs and options for a side trip to Reinhardstein or Robertville Lake. Check the elevation profile beforehand and bring the GPX file.
