Sankt Vith

Sankt Vith is a German-speaking municipality in Belgium's Liège Province, stretching across rolling hills and valleys in the eastern Ardennes region. The town serves as a regional hub in a landscape defined by forests and open countryside.

The town was granted city rights in 1350 and subsequently passed between Luxembourg, France, and Prussia through various periods. It became part of Belgium following World War I in 1925.

The Triangel center serves as a gathering place where exhibitions, concerts, and events reflect the German-Belgian life of the region. Locals and visitors encounter shared traditions and contemporary art forms in this community space.

The area has extensive networks of hiking and mountain biking trails throughout the Ardennes, connecting to neighboring towns and natural areas. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and wear sturdy footwear for exploring the landscape.

The Planet Route is a walking path that represents the solar system through miniature installations, giving visitors a sense of distances between planets. This unusual trail combines science education with outdoor exploration in an engaging way.
