The route is a return trip to Malmedy. The entire route is on the Ravel.

The history of these routes is linked to the historic crossroads between the Luxembourg, Prussian and Belgian railways. All of them have contributed to the development of these lines.

The walk is very pleasant and takes place in a green setting.
