Discover Weywertz

Weywertz combines gentle hills, meadows, forests and the Warche Valley with a variety of trails for hiking, cycling and winter activities. The “Highland – Weywertz” route leads across meadows and gentle hills before reaching the Warche Valley below Weywertz. Anyone planning a trip with different ideas for each day will find short walks as well as longer circular routes and trails connecting Weywertz with the landscape along the Warche.

Hiking between the church, forest and Warche

A good starting point for several trails is St. Michael’s parish church. The Narcissenwandeling is an 8.9 km circular route starting and ending at the church in Weywertz. Even shorter is the 1.8 km Kruisweg Weywertz walking trail, which is considered largely accessible and leads right through nature. For a longer hike, Zum Sankersborn is a good choice at 7.7 km. The Zum Burghügel hike also starts and ends in Weywertz, is 12 km long and leads through forests and past idyllic places.

The landscape can also be explored via various themed routes. Naar de oude molen connects forest, woodland, meadows and a river. The Genusstour 11 leads from Weywertz down to a flat pasture landscape along the Warche; a small beach on the riverbank invites you to linger. The BLAUW Trailrun Bütgenbach is a 15 km route with several trail sections to Brückberg, which is also called “La Nowe” in Walloon in Weywertz. The return route leads via Nidrum, and the trail also offers views of the Warche River.

Cycling on the Vennbahn

For cyclists, the RAVeL L45a is a defining feature of the surrounding area. It branches off from the Vennbahn in Weywertz and runs for 38.5 km via Bütgenbach and Bullange to Losheimergraben. The route follows a former railway line and is considered a relaxed cycling route without any significant climbs. Another option is the cycling route Ovelo – Around Lake Bütgenbach, which follows the Vennbahn for around 5 km along the boundary of Weywertz. After leaving the lake, the Venntrilogie runs along the Warche and meets the RAVeL Vennbahn in Weywertz.

Daffodils, the church and winter trails

From mid-April, hundreds of thousands of wild daffodils bloom in the Warche Valley. This season adds a special highlight to walks and hikes. St. Michael’s parish church is also worth a look: it was built in 1958–1959 and stands in the shade of a village lime tree that is more than 350 years old. Its windows depict scenes from the Old and New Testaments.

More options become available in winter. Zum Himmelchen offers four cross-country ski trails measuring 2, 4, 6 and 8 km. The loops start at the chalet and lead through fields and forests. Zum Himmelchen also has three toboggan runs. Those who do not ski can choose Winter Walking Trail 1, which runs away from the cross-country ski trails and is intended as an alternative for non-skiers. The 10 km lantern walk starts and ends at the church in Weywertz and passes nativity scenes and illuminated garlands.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Weywertz, you can take the focus of your trip into account. For varied days of hiking, the different circular routes offer a choice of 1.8 to 12 km. Cyclists can include the RAVeL L45a and its connection to the Vennbahn in their plans. In spring, the blooming of wild daffodils in the Warche Valley takes centre stage, while in winter, cross-country skiing, toboggan runs and the winter walking trail provide other ideas for the day. This allows you to choose your accommodation based on the activities you would like to discover together.
