Signal De Botrange

Signal de Botrange is the highest point, and also the highest summit, in Belgium, standing at 2,277 feet (694 meters). The Signal de Botrange is situated on the crest of a large land plateau. Because a road runs through the summit and there is a café across the road at the top, the place attracts some visitors.

At the peak, there are two distinct towers, one erected in 1923 to allow tourists to reach 700 meters (2,296 feet) and the other built in 1934 to allow visitors to reach 781 meters (2,355 feet). For a few decades, there was also a meteorological station on the site, but it was decommissioned in 1999.

During the winter, the Signal de Botrange serves as the starting point for a variety of cross-country skiing routes throughout Belgium. When compared to the rest of Belgium, the plateau features more fluctuating temperatures, winds, and rainfall.
