Hunting season in the Hautes Fagnes

Things you need to know when riding in the Hautes Fagnes during hunting season

From end September until mid December, it's hunting season in the Hautes Fagnes.

What does this mean for you if you want to come and do some gravel riding?

To avoid surprises (closed roads) we suggest you check to see if parts of your route might be closed due to hunting. How to do this :

• Visit https://www.ostbelgien.eu/en/cycling/cycle-tour-planer

• Click on the red icon on the right side and enter the date of your ride.

• On the map you can click on the areas that are marked brown/red to get more info. The areas marked brown/red will probably be closed that day.

In general hunting will take place during the weekdays. So you should be OK in the weekends. And especially on Sunday. But we recommend you always check the routeplanner above.

Areas that are closed due to hunting, will always have a sign. Respect these signs.
