View of Brackvenn Moor

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Especially when it rains or after longer periods of rain, the partly natural paths are very muddy. Distant views are only possible to a limited extent due to the dense vegetation.

A walk through the Brackvenn (East Belgium) today, as we were immediately drawn to the great photos by @MoRi 🥾 & 🚴🏼‍♂️⚡ :). It went over footbridges, roots and partly very muddy paths (but you could dodge everywhere) criss-cross through the Venn. Colorful landscape, beaver ponds and dams (unfortunately the moor beaver 🦫 itself didn't show up) and lots of …

Nice tour to get to know, which we would have liked to have extended if the snow hadn't been so muddy. In addition, some sections of the path were not accessible due to defective boardwalks. From here, a detour to the old town of Monschau is worthwhile. There are also plenty of places to stop for refreshments and an expensive …

Such a beautiful path over boardwalks and narrow trails. We were out in the rain and because of an approaching thunderstorm front, we unfortunately couldn't hike further..

We will make up for it.
