Today, you can walk in the footsteps of the knights of old. This short circular route begins with a climb to the church of Weweler. From the graveyard, there is a magnificent view down the valley of the River Our. At the church itself, you can relax after the climb at the two tables made from huge tree trunks. Look at all those tree-rings! Each one represents a year of life. You can count the rings to find out how old the trees were before they were made into tables.

Follow the Way of the Cross downhill in the direction of Burg-Reuland. The remains of this 12th-century castle – visible from afar – rise impressively on a slight rise above the village. These are among the largest and most beautiful castle ruins in the Ardennes region. Once at the bottom, one route takes you round the village and another up to the ruins. To return to the starting point, you can walk along a section of the Vennbahn, a disused railway line.
