The access roads have been opened today, but stopping & parking isn’t permitted along them. Not clear how this is affecting the big parking at Signal de Boutrange.

The area WEST of the road N676 was not affected by the forest fires, and is accessible.
Also the parking at Signal de Botrange is open.
Air quality should be back to normal.
You can see the forbidden zone EAST of the road here:
