Today I'm starting the week early with my Monday morning walk. My knee didn't cause me any problems today. It's still a bit more swollen than the other one, but that will pass. So I've put this problem behind me.
I'm walking to Harles and then across the Volsertal via Holset and Vaalsbroek back. In Vaals

Today I wanted to go to the Drielandenpunt. During my walk on Wednesday, I had noticed that slow uphill walking is good for the knee, but I still have to keep the hikes shorter for a while. The Belgian bus 396 runs hourly right in front of my house and goes via Gemmenich and Kelmis to Eupen. I took this

Today I'm climbing my home mountain in Germany, the Schneeberg, which I can even see from my bedroom window after moving. Well, 'mountain' is perhaps a bit of an exaggeration for this 257-meter-high hill, which is marked as a 'summit' by Komoot.
The ascent is very gentle, a good opportunity to carefully

Before it gets too hot, I take a walk on the outskirts and through the center of Vaals. The humidity is high and it is also too hot for me so early.
But my knee is getting better and better, I am wearing a knee brace, but the swelling has visibly decreased.
I wish everyone a nice day in a cool place. 🥵😊🙋♂️

The heat is still holding on for a while, so if I want to go for a walk, I have to be home before 10 am. My knee is healing slowly but surely. The swelling has significantly reduced, and I can already bend my knee a little again. Today I will hike past the campsite to the Schneebergweg and then back

Yesterday I was sitting in the park when some packages were delivered. So I had to pick them up today. They were bigger than expected, and with my bandaged knee I didn't want to overexert myself, so I walked back and forth twice. On the way, I also got a delicious piece of Rijstevlaai from the baker

I don't tolerate heat very well, so I always look for a cool spot and enjoy the heatwave very relaxed with a good book and a cool box full of cold drinks and tasty snacks. This morning I went to the city center briefly to buy drinks and snacks.
The drinks go into the fridge for two hours, then I fill

On Friday evening I was at a concert in Kopermolen (next to the town hall in Vaals). On the way home in the dark, I tripped over a loose paving stone. Silly of me, I wasn't paying attention. On Saturday morning I woke up with a sore, swollen knee. Luckily, nothing is broken, it's just a sprain. I cooled

Between my Friday tasks, I quickly ran to Lidl to do the weekend shopping. I also wanted to test if Komoot now correctly synchronizes walks between the app and the website again. Luckily, it works again; the problem with Komoot Web is fixed. Have a nice weekend everyone! 😊🙋♂️

Fog! The Komoot app is not syncing with Komoot Web, so I loaded the tour via the GPX workaround to be able to add the photos. Komoot support is not much help. Do others have this problem too, or is it my phone or computer?
I hiked to the Lourdes Grotto on the slopes of Vaalserberg and then on to the border

Today I took a great hike from Gulpen. From the bus station, it went up through Gulpen to the Dolsberg, then back down past Beertsenhoven and Wijlre Castle. It continued uphill on the Dikkebuiksweg to the viewpoint on the Moorenheideweg. There I took a banana break. Afterwards, I walked along the poppy

Today I'm going through the always beautiful Volsertal to the market. First to Harles, then through the valley towards Einrade and through the middle of the valley – with a quiet bench for my banana break – to Holset. Via Vaalsbroek it continues to the market in Vaals.
The sky looked threatening, but

This morning I'm taking a leisurely stroll across the Wolfhagerwiesen to the weekly market. The sun is still hiding behind a light morning mist, but will soon make itself noticeable. It's still quiet at the market, so I can quickly do my shopping and head home with my loot and the fried fish to treat
