Germany had determined that it would be easier to access France through the lowland Belgium than their rivery, forested bordered with France, especially with the forts near the border in France. Of course, Belgium turned out to be worse idea, seeing as its treaty with the UK brought Britain into the war.
In 1914 the German army invaded Belgium on it's way to France. During the Schrieffer plan Germany thought that going through Belgium was going to be easy and that Britain was going to remain neutral if Germany attacked Belgium.

It was the other way around. Germany invaded Belgium in World War I as the first act of aggression. Germany invaded Belgium as a way to circumvent French defenses along the German border (the Maginot Line).
Belgium was invaded by Germany on 4 August 1914, despite the fact that its neutrality was guaranteed by Britain, France and Germany. Since 1906 Germany had only one plan (the Schlieffen Plan) for a future war with France and that involved marching through Belgium. Incidentally, the original version of the plan involved marching through the Netherlands, too, but it was revised after Schlieffen's retirement.
