    The GR stage from Robertville to Bütgenbach follows the "Warche variant" of the GR 56. Exciting hike from lake to lake.

    The start of this hike is at the end of the dam of the lake of Robertville on the road towards Walk. The long-distance trail follows the shape given by the lake. On a small, adventurous path you always stay close to the water on a partly heavily wooded shoreline path. At the Halen bridge you only have to briefly cross the road before the fun continues.

    At the end of the lake you reach the small village of Outrewarche and now follow the well-marked Warche route hiking trail. This is no less spectacular and leads into the village of Weywertz at the former railway line. Until Bütgenbach you continue to follow the Warche and eventually reach the village of Berg and the dam of the Bütgenbach lake.
