On foot around the Château de Reinhardstein





Soon after the dam, we are on a veritable donkey trail, sometimes feeling like a tightrope walker between slopes and steep inclines. In a gap, the Château de Reinhardstein reveals itself. Perched on its eagle’s nest, it seems to challenge the hikers as you have to get around it via steep paths. Following a succession of hills, the Nez de Napoléon (Napoleon’s Nose) viewpoint finally appears – a jutting rock formation which offers us a stunning vista of the Warche Valley. On the crest, the trail starts to wind and follows the meanders of the relief. The itinerary soon reaches the River Warche. Near the banks of the river, the trail enters a valley which becomes narrower and narrower. The trail now climbs uphill. This slope offers the opportunity, one last time, to enjoy the view over the wild valley, which is marked by this mighty fortress.

Sentier didactique du poudingue
Le calvaire de Malmedy, situé sur la colline de Livremont, est considéré comme l’un des plus beaux sites de la ville, et le sentier qui y mène l’est tout autant ! Si à l'origine ce chemin de croix composé de 14 stations jusqu’au calvaire avait un but religieux, il permet aujourd’hui de découvrir un paysage exceptionnel ! En effet, la colline a la particularité d’être entièrement constituée de poudingue, une curiosité géologique rougeâtre unique en Belgique.
