While the area directly affected by the summer 2026 fire is temporarily closed to the public, a large part of the Hautes Fagnes plateau and its immediate surroundings remain perfectly accessible and preserved. Visitors can continue to explore the Fagnes on foot or by bike, following the many marked walking routes available.
The Hautes Fagnes-Eifel Nature Park, spanning 12 municipalities, offers more than just the plateau itself. Further discoveries await nature lovers in locations such as Raeren, Eupen, Baelen, Jalhay, Malmedy, Stavelot, Waimes, Bütgenbach, Büllingen, Amel, and Sankt-Vith, each providing its own hiking trails and preserved landscapes.
