Today to Herbeumont, according to the Rother hiking guide, we were supposed to have the most spectacular view of the Ardennes there. View of the winding Semois and high above the Gué du Moulin and the Tombeau du Chevalier, the ruins of Herbeumont castle. For this, we had to climb the "steep" slope south

I found this route in the Rother hiking guide, it goes from Ucimont to Rochehaut and back to Ucimont. We walked the route from Rochehaut because then we don't have to drive to Ucimont first. This was again a beautiful, varied route, steep descents on narrow paths, uphill again, not much scrambling like

Departed this morning at 8:30 AM, this time also "well" prepared, hiking gear on and with our binoculars. In Belgium, they are still busy with roadworks near Antwerp and Brussels, but we still managed to drive it in 3.5 hours. Near our guesthouse l’Orchidee, there are already hiking routes. We were allowed

Today I walked around the Reeuwijkse plassen again. Last year we walked this stretch in early March, now a month later. The leaves are bursting out on the trees and bushes, and the birds here have the final say. Unfortunately, we are not very familiar with bird sounds, but we were pointed out the Reed

Cycled towards Kinderdijk mid-morning. On the way there, through the polder, crossing by ferry from Krimpen aan de Lek to Kinderdijk. It was nicely busy with all sorts of tourists, but it didn't bother me much when taking photos. There was a strong, fresh wind, the sun was shining, and there were beautiful

So, here's part 2 of the walk.
After coffee, we climbed a little further and arrived at one of the highest points in the Sauerland, the Clemensberg (825m), from where we had a magnificent view of the Sauerland. We could even see the slopes of Winterberg from here. The tour then continued over the Hochheide

I'd found a well-described walk online, the Three Valleys Trail, for those who, besides nature, also wanted to see the many picturesque villages of the Sauerland, with their cozy half-timbered houses, charming terraces, and beautiful viewpoints. So I looked up the Three Valleys Trail route on Komoot

I'd planned a nice tour around the Bruchhauser Steine for today. A bit longer and with a slightly higher elevation gain than yesterday. The starting point was another half-hour drive away, and we set off around 10:15. The first section was in the shade, and with our enthusiasm, we set off in our vests

During breakfast, I picked out a nice walk, which I chose the Naturweg Liesetal. About 13.5km, with some elevation gain and then some descent. Liesen is only half an hour from Winterberg, so we packed our
lupas, had something to drink, and set off. We started the loop around 10:00 am. We were soon able

After breakfast, we left around 9:15 AM. Our stopover was in Dinant, which is about an hour's drive from Rochehaut and on the way home. After parking the car, we walked along the quay and first had coffee at a patisserie with a waffle and an éclair. We got a map at the tourist information to do the city
