High Fens

The High Fens ((フランス語:Hautes Fagnes); (ドイツ語:Hohes Venn); (オランダ語:Hoge Venen)), which were declared a nature reserve in 1957, are an upland area, a plateau region in the province of Liège, in the east of Belgium and adjoining parts of Germany, between the Ardennes and the Eifel highlands. The High Fens are the largest nature reserve or park in Belgium, with an area of ; it lies within the German-Belgian natural park ''Hohes Venn-Eifel'' (), in the Ardennes. Its highest point, at above sea level, is the Signal de Botrange near Eupen, and also the highest point in Belgium. A tower high was built here that reaches above sea level. The reserve is a rich ecological endowment of Belgium covered with alpine sphagnum raised bogs (not "fens" as the name would imply) both on the plateau and in the valley basin; the bogs, which are over 10,000 years old, with their unique subalpine flora, fauna and microclimate, are key to the conservation work of the park.
In 1966, the European Council awarded the "Diploma of Conservation" to the High Fens, for their ecological value.〔
==Geography==
The High Fens, established as a reserve in 1957, with their high relief and unique location, consist mainly of moorland, raised bogs, and low, grass- or wood-covered hills, moorland and forest. The provincial capital of Liège is to its west, the German border is to the east and the dark forested hills of the Ardennes surround the southern part. The park stretches between Eupen in the north, Monschau in the east, Spa in the west and Malmedy in the south.〔 It stretches north of Malmedy as far as Eupen and marks the end of the Ardennes proper. It is contiguous with the Eifel hills, which stretch east from the German border to form the large Deutsch–Belgischer Naturpark. Signal de Botrange located in the Haute Fagnes is marked by a Telecom Tower erected over an older artificial, earthen mound with stone steps that was built to raise a small part of the broad plateau from . Large urban centres in the vicinity of the reserve are Eupen, Verviers, Spa and Malmedy.
Part of the High Fens reserve remains closed during the spring breeding season of the endangered black grouse (''Tetrao tetrix'').〔 During the summer there is a risk of fire in the forest area. Boardwalks cross the bogs, permitting access across these areas. Paths lead to many areas of the park, and there are signposts to guide visitors through the park.〔 The nature reserve of the High Fens is coordinated under the Nature Division and Forests of the Walloon Region.
