Neu-Moresnet is a small village in the municipality of Eupen, located close to the German border. Its main landmark is the historic zinc mine tower, a remnant of the region's industrial past. The tower stands as a silent witness to the 19th-century mining boom, when zinc was extracted from the nearby Vieille Montagne mine. Today, the village is a quiet residential area surrounded by green hills and forests, making it a peaceful spot for a walk. Visitors can explore the tower's exterior, learn about its history from informational panels, and enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The village's proximity to the border adds a unique cross-cultural flavor, with German influences evident in local architecture and cuisine.
