Rimo

Ambulo Ergo Sum (Ich gehe, also bin ich)

Hallo und herzlich willkommen auf meinem Profil!

Ich bin ein begeisterter Wanderer aus Vaals in den Niederlanden und im Ruhestand. Seit meiner Pensionierung habe ich jahrelang fast täglich weite Touren rund um Vaals, das Dreiländereck sowie die angrenzenden Gebiete in Belgien und Deutschland (die Euregio) unternommen.

Als Jahrgang 1949 und wegen gesundheitlicher Beschwerden in diesem Jahr lasse ich es inzwischen ruhiger angehen. Ich wandere nicht mehr jeden Tag und meine eigenen Touren sind auf maximal 10 km begrenzt. Auch bei Gruppenwanderungen achte ich darauf, die Distanz bei Bedarf für mich verkürzen zu können. Das Wichtigste ist, in Bewegung zu bleiben und meine Touren weiterhin mit der Komoot Gemeinschaft zu teilen.

Als Einzelgänger bin ich unter der Woche meist allein unterwegs. Am Wochenende freue ich mich über Gesellschaft in unserer Gruppe „Wandern in der Euregio“. Wir treffen uns fast jeden Sonntag ab 10:00 Uhr zu Touren von etwa 12 bis 17 km. Zudem machen wir ein bis zwei Mal im Monat samstags ab 11:30 Uhr eine Runde von 7 bis 10 km, bei der auch Hunde herzlich willkommen sind. Oft lassen wir den Tag noch gemütlich bei einem Happen und einem Getränk ausklingen, was natürlich völlig freiwillig ist.

Eine Übersicht unserer gemachten Gruppenwanderungen findest du in meinen Collections. Schau dich dort gerne um und nutze die Strecken als Inspiration zum Nachwandern.

Neue Gesichter sind willkommen, solange die Gruppe nicht zu groß wird. Bitte melde dich zum Kennenlernen vorab kurz an. Alle Touren mit meiner Beteiligung kündige ich in den Kommentaren meiner Tageswanderungen an. Nach einer ersten gemeinsamen Tour nehmen wir dich auf Wunsch gerne in unsere WhatsApp Gruppen für Samstag oder Sonntag auf.

Schreib mir bei Fragen oder Interesse einfach einen Kommentar direkt unter meinen Touren!

Okay, it's less than 5 km, but it's a market walk, so it's allowed under my new rules on Komoot. 😅

I walk along the edge of Vaals to the Heckenweg. I call it the fruit path, because to the right behind the hedges pears grow (which have already been harvested) and to the left apples (which are just being

I am back on Komoot! I had decided not to post hikes under 5 km publicly on Komoot anymore, unless I had taken really nice photos or it was market day. It's often the same routes, and every day "Rimo went hiking", all followers know that. Last week I was everywhere and nowhere, but I managed to do a

Today we went on a hike from Obermaubach with ten people. Thomas was new to the group, welcome! I wasn't in top form today, I slipped twice on the steep, stony descent. Luckily, helpful people repeatedly helped me up. After the bridge over the Rur, we took a break and enjoyed the brought along delicacies

We started at the parking lot of Brasserie De Kornuiten van Koraal in Lemiers. Via country paths, the route led us to the outskirts of Vijlen, steeply down to Melleschet

Every Tuesday morning an excursion to the weekly market. I walk along the Ringstraße and then through the center of Vaals. At the weekly market I buy: vegetables, bread and of course baked fish. Today I opted for Kibbeling, it was very tasty!

I wish everyone a nice day 😊🙋‍♂️

It's been a while since I last visited my stone friend, the Sater, who guards the forest entrance at the end of the Meelenbroekerweg. He always wants my hiking poles and my hat, so I give them to him, although I make it clear to him every time that he won't get far with them.

Hiking with dogs in the Euregio



Today we started with 12 participants and 3 dogs on a beautiful loop from Gulpen. We set off from the parking lot of the restaurant De Pannekoekenmolen (Molen Roex).



Right at the beginning, we went uphill through a quaint sunken lane to the Gulpenerberg plateau, where we

First, we had to master a proper climb, but at the top of the plateau, we were spoiled with fantastic distant views, and the dogs ran enthusiastically through the extensive meadows. Actually

I overslept this morning. But it doesn't matter, because I've been sleeping very badly lately. My body has now made up for it with ten hours of undisturbed deep sleep. Afterwards, I took all the time for breakfast and coffee and read the digital newspaper.

It got warmer and sunnier outside, and I took

The weather wasn't quite as good as promised, but that couldn't take away our joy of this beautiful hiking day. To finish, we stopped at the mountain hut and ate some delicious

The walk was short, but beautiful. The forest was wet, and it drizzled lightly at first. That's why I had chosen a

Of course, including a delicious fried fish, and I come home with a bag full of seasonal fruit and vegetables
