Waimes

Built around a historic settlement on the Hautes Fagnes plateau, Waimes grew into a rural municipality in eastern Wallonia. Its territory includes Signal de Botrange, at 694 metres Belgium’s highest point, amid the peatlands, heath and woodland of the High Fens. Near Robertville, the Warche is dammed to create Lake Robertville, while the medieval-style Reinhardstein Castle stands above the valley. Waimes was part of the Prussian district of Malmedy until the area became Belgian after the First World War; it remains a French-speaking municipality with facilities for German speakers.
