The highest point in Belgium
Although Belgium's high point is a fairly decent height above sea level the gradient up to is very subtle. Hence when we arrived there wasn't much of a view or walk up to it. The car park is located right next to the high point. There is a cafe, tower and information point on site but they were closed while we made our visit.
The staircase to nowhere photographed was constructed in 1934 for the purpose of gaining an extra 6 m of elevation so that anyone stood on top would be standing at 700 m above sea level.
This was high point number 2 of the day. We drove another 45 mins or so to our final 'peak' - Luxemburg.
