Signal de Botrange

Signal de Botrange rises 694 meters above sea level in the High Fens region, featuring grasslands, wetlands, and forested areas throughout its slopes.

The Belgian government constructed a six-meter tower at the summit in 1923, artificially extending the elevation to exactly 700 meters above sea level.

The summit marks a linguistic border between Romance and Germanic languages, with sources of several rivers flowing into the Mosan basin.

Visitors can access the peak through marked trails starting from the Baraque Michel parking area, with a hiking time of approximately three hours.

A meteorological station operated at the summit for decades before being relocated to Mount Rigi in 1999, recording temperatures as low as -25.6°C.
