Description by the author

The route starts at Hockai where there is ample parking and catering. Those who prefer to make it a day trip with afternoon stop in Hockai can start the itinerary in Solwaster. --- French below --- The route descends through the very famous Hoëgne valley and then climbs from Solwaster to the High Fens via the river De Statte. You will pass by the Dolmen of Solwaster, the Rocher de Bilisse and the waterfall of Nutons. Further via the bride cross, a reminder of the two lovers who died in a snowstorm not far from the Michel shack while they were walking from Jalhay to Xhoffrai to arrange their marriage. In the man's mantle, they found a note saying "Mary has just died and so have I." It is very interesting to read the dramatic story described at the POI at the monument on a winter afternoon in the snow at the foot of the cross. From there follows the road to Vecquée which was used in the Middle Ages by the prince-bishops who went to the abbeys of Stavelot and Malmedy. The path is located on a ridge at an altitude of 500 meters. From here are also the old border posts between Belgium and Prussia, 4 of which have passed. -------------- The route starts in Hockai where there is enough parking and catering.
