Description

The meadow path 'In den Ettersten' takes you through a lush green valley directly from the city centre of Eupen to Membach. The green areas there are of ecological importance; the unmistakable white willows are unique in the region and provide many species of bird with a habitat. Many of the meadows are separated off by the characteristic 'Stiegel'. These are passages through the hedge made from timber stakes or stones, and often swinging or revolving gates, which block the passage of the grazing stock but allow humans to pass.
