Winamplanche, a small village in the Ardennes that might not ring a bell for many. The region around Spa always invites for a stroll anyway, so we headed to Winamplanche. That it wouldn't be a health walk becomes immediately clear. A steep climb ensures that the village lies at our feet right away. Then

We arrive at the parking lot at sunrise. After crossing the main road, we immediately dive into the forest, a foretaste of what this route will mainly bring. A grassy path behind houses, some country roads and a few passages through villages offer some variation here. In the forest we come across the

We start this route at a shopping center, and the first straight line runs through a passage of this complex. A bit more wandering through the inhabited world of Landgraaf before we end up in the open space. Although the traffic is never really far away, you can still enjoy the rolling green landscape

On the way to Vijlen, the landscape is shrouded in a thick fog. Arriving in the only mountain village in the Netherlands, the morning sun has made its radiant appearance.

At Hoeve Nekum, we crossed the Cannerweg and the Jeker rivers and climbed into the ENCI forest. We improvised

Terhills, Maasmechelen... a cold, dark December evening. The spicy scents of wood fires mingle with the aromas of a variety of dishes available at the various food trucks. Once on the route, we stroll through the four elements, which are depicted with a light show and sound. Halfway through, we take

A parking lot in the middle of the forest, arriving in complete darkness and setting off at the first light. Welcome to Kohlscheid! It's clear that this is a wooded area. The entire route runs almost entirely through woodland, although there are also beautiful panoramas and vistas of the surrounding

I left home and decided to record Komoot when I entered the forest. A mix of (various) marked trails and back roads, in other words, just wandering around familiar terrain. A breath of fresh air, some oxygen, and some exercise.
