Road Movie in winter time, driving over the highest spot of Belgium... driving from Ovifat to Signal de Botrange, Mont Rigi and Baraque Michel before heading towards Eupen in the belgian Ardennes
From Wikipedia:
The Signal de Botrange is the highest point in Belgium, located in the High Fens (Hautes Fagnes in French, Hoge Venen in Dutch), at 694 metres (2,277 ft). It is the top of a broad plateau, and a road crosses the summit, passing an adjacent café. In 1923, the six-metre-high Baltia tower was built on the summit to allow visitors to reach an altitude of 700 m. A stone tower built in 1934 reaches 718 m.
The Baraque Michel (German: Michelshütte) is a locality in the municipality Jalhay, in the High Fens, eastern Belgium. Before the annexation of the Eastern Cantons by Belgium in 1919, it was the highest point of Belgium.[1] Now it is the third highest point at 674 m, after the nearby Signal de Botrange (694 m) and the Weißer Stein (50°24′30″N 6°22′9″E / 50.40833°N 6.36917°E / 50.40833; 6.36917, 691 m).
The Baraque itself is an inn and the starting point of many excursions. The Baraque Michel was founded between 1811 and 1813 by Michel Schmitz, of Herbiester (a hamlet close to Jalhay), already as an inn, but also as refuge for stray travellers: a bell was sounded there during fog, which allowed the rescue of more than one hundred of people during the 19th century.
The establishment was also used as relay for the mail coaches, that connected the two then Prussian towns of Eupen and Malmedy. The direct connection was partly through Belgian territory, along the current N68 road.
Several rivers of Belgium, part of the basin of Vesdre, take their source in the vicinity. The principal ones are Gileppe, Hoëgne and Helle.
At the height of winter the site is used as the start of a number of cross-country skiing routes.
