Weekendo
Vokalensemble Arnikas: Chorkonzert "Underneath the stars"
Concert in St. Vith: programme and times on the organiser's page.
What to do in East Belgium this weekend?
The High Fens plateau with its boardwalks and the Signal de Botrange, Belgium's highest point, plus forests, the lakes of Robertville and Bütgenbach and the Vennbahn, a former railway turned cycle path. German is the main language, except in French-speaking Malmedy and Waimes. Carnival matters a lot here, from the Cwarmê in Malmedy to the Eupen carnival, and every village has its kermesse.
