Every year around Autumn season, my social media is flooded with pictures of the river called la Hoëgne which runs in the High Fens. The High Fens is an area located in the East of Belgium, very close to the German border. Apparently at the end of October, la Hoëgne is so crowded with photographers, you need to fight for a spot and you need to be very careful not to include someone else's tripod in your shot. Of course, that didn't keep me from wanting to visit the High Fens to shoot some golden Autumn colors.
Fortunate, I could plan my visit with Bart Heirweg, and for all the previously mentioned reasons, he opted to go to two lesser known rivers, the Helle and the Getzbach. The Helle is a more a wide and calm river which is easy to access, while the Getzbach is a bit harder to reach with more differences in height. Both can be combined in one day and be prepared to walk around 20km. But don't be the one who only brought his rubber boots like me. ;)
