    South of St. Vith, the route passes through small river meadows and the Lommersweiler Tunnel deeper into the Our valley. The ruined castle of Reuland is a worthy and imposing stage destination.

    Shortly after passing the small wooded area and the impressive motorway viaduct, you pass through the picturesque Neidingen. Numerous streams and small brooks accompany the route once again, providing varied landscapes. The tunnel passage at Lommersweiler sets the mood for the picturesque Our valley and is as impressive as it is cool. Towards Hemmeres, the route crosses the German-Belgian border once more. Back on Belgian territory, the attractively situated chapel of Weweler appears on the horizon, perched high on the Reuländer Ourberg. The ruin of Reuland castle impressively marks the end of this stage.

    Author’s recommendation

    A trip up to the chapel of Weweler is worthwhile.
