Winter
Snow, silence, low light. The Signal de Botrange at 694m is the highest point in Belgium.
The Fagnes
Belgium's highest plateau, and its quietest.
Four thousand five hundred hectares of peat bogs, heather, moors and crooked pines. Fog in the morning, red in autumn, white in winter, green the rest of the time.
Four moods
The plateau you meet depends on the week you arrive.
Spring
Meltwater. Cotton-grass. Deer before the hikers arrive.
Summer
Long light until 22h. Wooden walkways through the bogs. Lunch on the terrace.
Autumn
Red heather, red leaves, red sky. The photographer's season.
