Saint Vith

Saint Vith combines a compact town centre with the open, wooded uplands of the Eifel in a way that reflects its borderland position in eastern Belgium. The Braunlauf runs through the town before joining the Our, linking Saint Vith to the river valleys of the Belgian Eifel. It belongs to Belgium’s German-speaking Community, so German is heard alongside the wider Walloon setting. Once an important rail junction, Saint Vith became a hard-fought objective during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 and was severely damaged. Today, the former Vennbahn railway corridor forms part of a long-distance cycling route. Move on to other webcams in eastern Belgium to compare landscapes and settings around the Eifel.
