Stories from East Belgium
East Belgium, one of Belgium's most beautiful regions.
Discover East Belgium
Located in the heart of the High Fens nature park, East Belgium is only at a stone’s throw from Germany, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. With an overall surface of only 1036 km², East Belgium boasts a surprisingly big cultural and culinary landscape. This diversity can also be noticed in the spoken languages. In the municipalities of Malmedy and Waimes, people speak mainly French, whereas German is more predominant in the rest of the region.
In the north of East Belgium, Eupen and its surroundings as well as the valley of the Göhl showcase hilly landscapes with vast meadows and hedges. There are also quite a few manor houses, castles and forts.
Nature lovers will enjoy the nature reserve of the High Fens, one of the last raised bog landscapes of Europe. Numerous springs originate here and fill the surrounding reservoirs. Hiking trails and wooden footbridges lead hikers through an almost endless landscape with impressive panoramas. At 694 metres, the Signal de Botrange is the highest point in Belgium.
Further south, the landscape changes again. It is characterised by the high hedgerows of the Fen villages and the somewhat rugged river valleys of the Warche, Amel and Our.
