    Many houses in the south of East Belgium are made of natural stone (arkose) and have a character typical of the region. Some of the quarries are located in the Warche valley and have meanwhile reached impressive sizes. After the quarries, you go uphill into wild nature up to the edge of the Venn, then return again over the heights north of Malmedy.
