- 4.5 (195)·Moderate·5.1 mi·Est. 2.5–3 hrThis narrow, beautiful and sometimes tricky path starts at the house Ternell and follows the green cross marking.

- 4.5 (56)·Moderate·3.4 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hrThe De Hoge Venen Nature Park is located on a plateau, largely in the Ardennes and to a smaller extent in the Eifel.

You can also combine this circular walk with a walk in the Osthertogenwald or in the Hoscheit area.
- 4.5 (44)·Moderate·5.9 mi·Est. 2–2.5 hrThis loop starts at the Grenzweg hiking car park and leads deep into the protected Brackvenn. Along the trails, hikers encounter so-called palsas – round depressions that are considered remnants of the last ice age and now form small biotopes. The area has a long history, with people mining peat as fuel for centuries before it was placed under strict nature conservation. Today, rare plants such as cotton grass grow here, its white fruit clusters dancing above the moor like little cotton balls...
- 4.5 (35)·Moderate·10.2 mi·Est. 4–4.5 hrPopular loop near Mutzenich, North Rhine-Westphalia. This route leads through the high moor landscape of the Eifel and Ardennes, which is well worth seeing.

- 4.5 (27)·Moderate·3 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hrThe scenic loop hike in Brackvenn starts from the Nahtsief or Grenzweg parking lots along the N67 between Eupen and Monschau, right on the border with Germany. The trail takes hikers deep into the unique, desolate high moorland of the Brackvenn, which is part of the vast High Fens-Eifel Nature Park. The terrain consists of an adventurous mix of unpaved forest trails and kilometers of narrow wooden boardwalks (log paths) that float above the marshy peat bog. Due to the spongy ground and the...
- 4.3 (33)·Hard·12.4 mi·Est. 5.5–6 hrPopular loop through heathland and moorland between Belgium and Germany near Mützenich, North Rhine-Westphalia. During the hike the landscape changes. Sometimes it goes through forests, sometimes through river landscapes and then through the moorland landscape of the High Fens. The path leads steadily uphill until a fantastic view on the high plateau can be enjoyed. Some of the path consists of very narrow wooden walkways. Be careful when it's wet and icy - it can be slippery! The starting...
- 4.4 (18)·Moderate·8.8 mi·Est. 3.5–4 hrThis varied walking trail starts at the parking lot of the arboretum of House Ternell and takes walkers across heathland and the moors of Brackvenn.

- 4.5 (18)·Moderate·7.2 mi·Est. 2.5–3 hrCross-border hike to the High Fens (DEU/BEL).

This route leads along wooden bridges in the Venn as well as the quartz stone "Kaiser Karls Bett" ("Emperor Karl's Bed") and the Steeling, the highest elevation here.
