Route passes highest natural elevation in Luxembourg (Kneiff 560 m), Belgium (Signal de Botrange 694 m) and Netherlands (Vaalserberg, 322.4 m).

It is an extension of the Vaals - Botrange route that is already a competitive route.

The route covers all of the east Belgium from the highest point Netherlands (at the border) to highest point of Luxemburg just beyond of the border. Very diverse landscape with forests, open heaths, farmland and many villages.

Running 31 miles from the Charles River at Millennium Park to Castle Island at Boston Harbor, the City On The Hills Trail is the east-to-west sibling of Boston’s Walking City Trail. It features over 40 green spaces spread across 9 Boston neighborhoods, while visiting some of the highest points in the city—a literal escalation from the Walking City Trail, with more elevation gain and mileage, but the same ease of access to public transit along the way.
