A winter walk that began in Diest, where snow and ice dominated the landscape...

De Halve Maan is a domain here with pond-like edges, where a windmill was the first to land in the lens...

The cold bit fiercely on cheek and toe, so the red nose wasn't alone...

A nice adventurous walk. Encountered three not so friendly 🐎 🐎 🐎, had to make a way through the nettles and had to disconnect a piece of power wire to continue our path but it was all worth it 😅.
Really nice walking area 🐾🐾

A pleasant route that starts along the cycle path, after which the paths have been resurfaced with sand and gravel. The last few oafs along the Demer are pleasant, narrow paths. A beautiful area for birdwatching.

Webbekoms Broek in Diest.
Rain 🌧, flooded walking paths and lots of mud 🙈. Wet feet, muddy clothes and dirty dog 🐾. And yet we enjoyed this walk 😄.
Lots of water birds 🦢🦆 and also spotted a stork. One stork was also on a breeding nest.
