Van Gasthuisberg naar het woonzorgcentrum. Van zon naar gietende regen. De terugweg is niet opgenomen. Moeder haar eerste oogoperatie is geslaagd. En de werken van de Leuvense kunst- en wetenschapsroute blijven staan. 'k Kwam er nog wat tegen.

After a few days of pacing back and forth through the corridors of Gasthuisberg with my mother in her wheelchair for the first of two eye surgeries—and the first checkups—I had to go to the hospital myself.
After the appointment, the sun actually shone, and after a missed spring day and a chilly walk

Walsbets, Wezeren en een stukje Walshoutem. Op de grens met Waals-Brabant en Limburg maar in Vlaams-Brabant.

I walked from A to B. And B, that's the tumulus of Bortombe. I'll wait there until someone comes to pick me up.
No. Of course, the battery was simply dead (the walk was 1.6 kilometers longer, if you'd like an idea for your own walk). My phone wasn't fully charged either, because the walk was completely

What do Noorbeek, Mheer, and Banholt have in common? Everything, actually. They are all part of Eijsden-Margraten, lie just north of the Belgian border, and were all once part of the County of Dalhem, to name just a few.
And they are three villages—with various hamlets—where the intertwining of cultural

Admittedly, after six o'clock at this time of year isn't the best time to take lots of photos in a dimly lit location. But I couldn't resist during a short, cold, and dark walk in Walsbets, in the far southeast of Flemish Brabant (a stone's throw from Landen and Hannut).
This week, I'm also limiting myself

I'd posted this walk online before, but when I wanted to delete a photo...I deleted the entire walk. Luckily, I always back up the GPX file, even though some data is lost.
So, again: a bit of a wander from the foot of the Kesselberg to the viewpoint, and then back down to walk via a section of the Provincial

Langs het lokale erfgoed met de kerk, tiendenschuur en pastorij in ijzerzandsteen - ooit onder 't gezag van Averbode. Kapellen, boerderijen, drukke wegen, wegeltjes, natuurgebied Baalberg, werken, nieuwe verkavelingen en archeologie, vergankelijkheid, de eerste bloesems en natuurlijk 'n paard.

I had to go to the optician's shop in the village where all the Christmas lights were still hanging, and I briefly walked through the town center and into the church.
Then I headed towards Baal (mountain) forest. The main road to the forest, where a construction site is supposed to be, is closed and is

Na een wandeling in Vissenaken gisteren ging het vandaag even naar Grimde, een ander stuk Tienen. Boeiend erfgoed op minder evidente plekjes.

I had to be in Tienen, just like yesterday. This time I only had a short time to do a little sightseeing.
I stopped at the edge of town, in the Grimde district, to start—once again—from the parking lot of the "drie tumuli," Tienen's Roman pride. From there, I followed the Wittevrouwenpad, which runs along

Langs de Rozendaalvallei van Sint-Martens-Vissenaken naar Sint-Pieters-Vissenaken waar de hertog van Alva ooit zijn tenten opsloeg (en nogal wat mensen een achternaam hebben met het woord 'hertog' of een variante er van hebben).

I saw a walk in Vissenaken by @Els Q. And I noticed that my last walk in the Rozendaalbeek valley in Vissenaken from 2022 (then still with my wife) was removed from Komoot. So since I had to be in Tienen anyway and things were going a bit better today, I stopped by to do it again.
Namely: there's a new

Amidst the literally and figuratively gray days, some time and space for the sun. And for a walk in the village on the other side of the road between Brussels and Leuven from my childhood village of Erps-Kwerps: Meerbeek.
From the church and Komoot user Herwig's uncle, the priest, to and through the chalky
