Botrange 694m
Belgium's highest mountain

Belgium's highest peak is situated in the Ardennes/Eifel region. The Botrange reaches almost 700 meters of altitude in a highmoor scenery. The highest summit of the neighbouring Netherlands is located only some 40 kilometers to the north - the Vaalserberg. And some 50 kilometers to the south Luxembourg's highest mountain can be combined in a pleasant ride - the Kneiff.

Departure: Verviers 167m
Altitude difference: 545m
Distance: 21km
May 2015


The ride commences in Walloon Verviers and follows signposted "Baraque-Michel", a touristic area next to Signal de Botrange.


Directly after the village of Verviers the way routes through a steep wooden area...


...and proceeds to the small spot of Jalhay.


Afterwards there is a cycling path alongside road N672 leading for many ascending kilometers straight on...


...and to the 9,000 yrs old area "Het Hoog Plateau".


A final turn to the left behind Baraque-Michel...


...leads to the pleasant highmoor scenery...


...and to today's destination Signal de Botrange.
