Today we went into a moorland area, more precisely into the Groote Peel.
Some initial difficulties: The parking lot indicated on komoot was not one, so we looked for another. Briefly replanned, then off we went.
The initial difficulty was quite good, as we passed a moderately interesting bunker and a very

Small round into the Bergische Land.
Selected a round, adjusted it minimally, and unexpectedly had to deal with the new functions/the new view in komoot's planning mode. Partly good, partly worsened. Oh well.
A lot of gravel paths, some, few dirt paths, often nice views.
Occasionally through small towns

We had business in the area and also wanted to walk a bit, so @LucyOne picked this tour.
Start in Kleinenbroich at the train station, initially stood confused in front of the planned but closed pedestrian underpass. But easily bypassable. Went through the second underpass. Once again a masterpiece that

This time a city tour with a plan, quite unusual: Namely a plan on which art objects and street art in Namur are marked.
So we parked somewhere and drifted from object to object.
Sometimes we needed a bit of time to find the objects or paintings, so we stood around in the streets searching the walls. We

Today it was supposed to be as close to our holiday apartment as possible, we didn't feel like driving much.
That's just how it turned out.
Exclusively forest paths, sometimes gravel, sometimes paved.
Wait, stop: There was a small boardwalk loop in the middle, which was quite nice.
The forest we went through

A bit lazy to write today, so in short form.
A small detour to Luxembourg, here we let ourselves drift aimlessly.
Where we ended up:
- City center with various historical buildings
- Casemates (recommended if you are there)
- Petrusse Valley
- City park with sculpture park
- Pfaffenthal glass elevator
- Funicular

The last part of the Éislek-Trail, again packed into a circular tour.
We parked exactly where we left the trail yesterday and went back, near Mäboge.
There's actually not much to tell: Almost only forest and service roads up to La Roche-en-Ardenne, the surroundings changed a bit, but nothing exciting

Today 14 km from the Éislek-Trail, the rest was the way back to the car.
Actually, we wanted to have walked this part yesterday already, but a foggy smoke bell from the fire 80 km away in Hohes Venn was hanging over the region. Since we didn't want to walk through the day like chain smokers, we refrained

Today we visited the city of Dinant, the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the domino stone.
We parked on the outskirts of the city and wandered aimlessly into town, stumbling upon a flea market that stretched quite a long way along the Meuse riverbank. "The same sh*t as back home" I said, looking

Today only a short round due to the heat.
A short trip to Luxembourg, walked one of the Éislek-Pade. They are something like the Traumschleifen in Germany: More or less short, preferably beautiful loops.
This round was definitely beautiful: Almost only dirt paths, sometimes directly on the reservoir, sometimes

Today we incorporated part of the trail into a circular route again.
Parked at the actual destination, in Ollomont.
Here we noticed a lot of signs from a real estate agent "China". This then led to the thought: Do those who pronounce "China" as "Kina" also say "Cha-Cha-Cha"? And why do I say "Kamäleon

I completely chopped up the trail and ran it through the mixer, reason: Today the temperatures rose to 30 degrees, the actual 2nd stage goes largely over open terrain, as we read yesterday. So I looked at the map: From Houffalize it looked predominantly wooded. The problem here: The public transport

After walking the "Escapardenne Lee Trail" in April, we now want to continue it in the form of the "Escapardenn Éislek Trail": This starts where the Lee Trail ends, in Kautenbach.
Yesterday we saw that another komoot user was also doing it, but in one go with a tent. Greetings go out to @Joey67, unknown

Hardly parked, occupied the amusement park (commonly: playground) located at the parking lot. With a cable car.
Immediately subjected to various professional tests. My opinion as an expert: The swings are too low, with a height over 150cm nothing works there. And there are faster cable cars too. Well

Today, not too far away again, in a region that we have consciously avoided so far: lots of roads around, surely loud.
Arrived at the parking lot, first a stretch of forest path, then a dirt track, then to a lake. Nice.
Onward: forest path, dirt track, lake. Nice.
