Val Dieu Abbey greets us from the twilight, the imposing giant in the enchanting landscape of the Land of Herve. We set off, following a gravel path alongside the main road. Soon we delve into the countless meadows and savor the space around us. Meadows, gravel paths, sunken lanes... they alternate beautifully

At Christmas, we ventured into the freezing cold for a stroll in familiar territory. We parked at Château Neercanne, climbed past the castle, and then made our way to Maastricht via a wide bend. 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.

Daylight slowly begins to filter through as we walk out of the town, which played a crucial role in the Battle of the Bulge. An old military vehicle at the bridge over the Amblève River serves as a reminder of this. The tone is immediately set... uphill. Looking back, this offers a beautiful view of

It's still dusk as we set off through historic Kornelimünster. We leave the village center and climb a stone staircase to St. Stephen's Church, where we walk through the cemetery towards the sunrise. Beautiful views over the landscape, literally bathed in sunshine. A little further on, we pass the remains

We start at the Argenteau-Sarolay cemetery. Quiet asphalt roads and unpaved side paths lead us to Cheratte. From the heights and as we descend, we have beautiful views of the Meuse River and the Liège hinterland. From Cheratte, there's a steep climb along the main road. Near Housse, we enter the Bois
