Day 1: St. Vith – Ligneuville (20 km)
From St. Vith, this walk goes easily through fertile estates and then up to the wooded Tomberg. Here, near Rodt, a part of St. Vith, a ski hut has been built. However, no-one should be put off by that, because there's plenty to be experienced here in the summer, too. Various different possibilities for hiking, restaurants and cafés and the unusual beer museum guarantee an entertaining day. In the charming village of Recht, you have the exciting possibility of going down into a slate gallery. For centuries, a special kind of slate was mined here. It was known by the name of 'Recht bluestone', and was much coveted. From the village of Pont onwards, the hike goes along the Amel to Ligneuville.
Day 2: Ligneuville – Malmedy (21 km)
From Ligneuville, the hiking trail GR 56 goes through a varied landscape of woodland, fields and meadows, many of which have mature fruit trees growing in them. Sadly, orchards of this kind have become very rare in the cultivated, developed landscapes we have today. What could be more relaxing than sitting in the grass in the shade of a fruit tree enjoying the freshest fruit you could possibly get? From the Amel, you go straight over to the Warche, and then on into the beautiful little town of Malmedy with its numerous sights. The fact that the visitor can encounter something really special here is particularly worthy of mention! Every year, the town is affectionately adorned with thousands of flowers – a thing which is really worth seeing!
