MTB tours
A comprehensive network of signposted MTB cycle tours runs through East Belgium, especially in the south of the region between the Eifel and the Ardennes. The overall length of these tours from Baraque Michel in the High Fens to Ouren is 480 km. And there are numerous alternatives: from short routes to routes which are very challenging both technically and physically. Each MTB tour is also available for GPS.
With its network of routes totalling 480 km, East Belgium is among the largest and most beautiful MTB destinations in Belgium. The extensive woodland area, the valleys of the rivers Warche, Amel, Our, Weser and Hill, and the hilly nature park landscape in the High Fens offer ideal conditions and countless hours of fun on your bike.
Almost 400 m of altitude separate the highest point at the Signal de Botrange (694m) from the lowest point in Ouren (+-300m) in the border country between Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. The network of routes offers both challenging tours that guarantee your calf muscles some real work, and unhurried tours for those who just want to get out and enjoy, in the midst of abundant nature. Friends of XC can choose from 18 signposted circuits reconnoitred by locals.
Marathon riders can put themselves to the test on the East Belgium tour, with its total length of 190 km. Downhillers, freeriders and 4crossers too really get their money's worth in the bike parks in Bévercé and Ovifat.
The map 'Mountain biking in the south of East Belgium' offers 18 circuits, a big East Belgium tour (190 km) and a downhill ride from the high ground in the Fens right down into the valley of the Warche. Altogether, there are 480 km of MTB routes available.
