Beschrijving door de auteur

Meet at the church (V) in Xhoffraix, a hamlet of Bevercé (municipality of Malmedy), on rue du curé Beckmann. You start with the church on your left and the retirement home on your right. At the T-junction, turn left and pass by the village schoolhouse. Immediately afterwards, take a right onto rue du Petit Village. This street soon becomes a church path. On your left, you have a beautiful view of the wooded surroundings and the hamlet of Longfaye. You arrive at rue de la Tournerie. Turn left and then immediately right, almost straight ahead, crossing over and following the church path on the other side. On the left, meadows; on the right, a hedge. You come to rue de la Borbotte and follow it to the left. Ignore the Large Voie on the right and the bend that goes left with the road. Leave the chapel and the road next to it on your right and take the rue Adam to the right after the bend. The road splits; on the left, it is also rue Adam. Continue straight ahead and then turn right with the road. You are now walking between the meadows and further along the edge of the forest. Pay attention to the red rectangles in the white squares. You need to briefly go left into the forest and then descend to the ruisseau du Pouhon. Cross this over a small bridge and follow the broad gravel path to the right until the point where the ruisseau de Roannay flows into the ruisseau de Pouhon. Cross with the bridge, or if there is little water, over the gué de Pouhon and follow the stream until it flows into the ruisseau de Bayehon. It is an idyllic spot with two picturesque bridges. You stay straight ahead and from now on follow the Bayehon. At a fork with a picnic area, the Warche and the Bayehon merge. The ascending path to the right leads back to Xhoffraix.

Those who wish to visit the fairytale castle of Reinhardstein (highly recommended) must cross the bridge to the left here and follow the path to Reinhardstein for one kilometer on the other side. The castle Reinhardstein (1354), also known as Castle Metternich, is located on the Warche, near the point where it leaves the reservoir of Robertville. The castle is the highest castle in Belgium and stands 500 m above sea level. After admiring the castle, you must return the same way back to the bridge. The source of the Warche is in the Losheimergraben at the Belgian-German border. The stream flows about 50 km to the west through the plateau of the High Fens, meanders in a narrow valley, and feeds the reservoirs of Bütgenbach and Robertville. After that, it flows through the gorge of Bevercé and the valley of Malmedy and finally flows into the Amblève, at the hamlet of Warche. From the fork with the bridge, you walk over 3 km alongside the winding Warche. Then ignore the steep forest road to Xhoffraix on the right. You continue for about 500 m along the Warche to the bridge over the ruisseau du Coreu, which flows into the Warche here. Right after the bridge is the Warche quarry of Bevercé. An impressive sight, because you are actually standing at the bottom of the quarry. However, you do not need to go that far, as you take the narrow forest path to the right, next to the Coreu. During the ascent, you have a good view of the "quarry" and its activity on the left, and you follow the babbling Coreu upstream. From the bridge at the Warche, you can be guided by the signage of the local hikes. The blue crosses lead you to the church of Xhoffraix. The ascent is very spectacular and steep. First alongside the Coreu, later “in” a narrow path hollowed out by water, and finally over wider, less steep forest paths. When you come out of the forest, you can already see the church of Xhoffraix standing.
