“Border routes - On the trail of a political artefact”

Kelmis, Moresnet, Dreiländerpunkt (the border triangle), Preuswald and Hergenrath - these coordinates trace the course of the hiking route, which more or less circles the area of the former mini-state of Neutral Moresnet. The second theme of the route is religion: The route follows a long section of the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela, which leads through Preuswald Forest and is also the historic processional route between Aachen and Moresnet. While the trails in the northern part of the route run mainly through wooded areas, the paths in the southern part more often cross open meadows and skirt the built-up areas of towns and villages.
