November 23, 2021,Bolderberg : de Wijers en de Kluis

Beautiful walk along forest, Wijers and heathlands. At circuit Terlaemen it was quiet for a while, no circuit noise. Halfway through there is forced (few possibilities there in the loop walk) the unpleasant passage of almost 1 km along the overcrowded Vogelsancklaan. The rest makes up for a lot.

Nice route, just a pity that you have so little view of the water and that there is no alternative for the part along the road.

Shame about the noise from circuit from attic. Check agenda before coming here.

Actually mainly follow the red triangle. More than a km track. And a kind of bicycle highway. You only see wide paths and the pond now and then and it is fenced with barbed wire

UPDATE! Since the new De Wijers hiking junction network went live, this walk is no longer listed on the Wandelen in Limburg website. The signage may also have been removed. You can still download it here or plan your own walk using the hiking junctions: wandelknooppunt.be/nl-be/wandelen/knooppunten/routeplanner

Beautiful oak trees seen in these forests, which alone makes this an interesting trip. The restoration of the heathland provides a nice change in this area. The 1 km stretch along the N72 is slightly less pleasant, but you walk on a separate cycle path, so apart from some roaring engines you are not bothered by traffic.
