Itinerary description
This track follows the 8 km loipe (actually 7 km) from the ski center at Worriken in Bütgenbach (https://www.ostbelgien.eu/de/fiche/wintersports/skizentrum-worriken-b-tgenbach). The start of the loipe is from a parking lot at the Worriken center. There are also 2, 4 and 6 km loipes. There is a restaurant in the center.
The track starts from the parking and goes directly down to the cycle path on the Vennquerbahn, a former railroad. You then follow this cycling path across a viaduct over the Herresbach with views of the Bütgenbach reservoir, and then through woods with occasional glimpses of the reservoir. After about 2.1 km you turn off the cycle path down the Alte Aachener Strasse and then soon turn off on an unpaved country road in the valley of the Schwarzenbach. At the end of the country road you make a loop on pasture and ski up into an area with forest and moor (Tollersheide). In the forest there is a downhill stretch before you enter pasture on which the track makes another large loop up, down and up again. The following stretch is on forest tracks which bring you down to a road, which you cross. You go below a viaduct of the Vennquerbahn, go up to the cycle path, and ski back to the starting point.
