This extensive tour runs over some of the 18 circuits and was created in cooperation with the Belgian mountain biking magazine O2Bikers. It has now become a true "classic" and connects the mountain biking strongholds of Bütgenbach, Malmedy, St Vith and Reuland Castle, covering no less than 2,650 metres in positive altitude change over a distance of 190 km.
Author’s recommendation
In summer, stop at the halfway point in Malmedy, where the pavement cafés will be bustling with life and practically irresistible.
