I'd been hiking, climbing, and crawling once in the crater and on the Winterslag spoil tip. After 4.5 kilometers, Komoot stopped recording. So I started recording again for the rest of the hike. But not even 1.5 kilometers further, my phone's battery, with its apparently fidgeting charger connected

One day, a man read the following: "A slag heap is a heap of stones, commonly called a dump. Slag heaps contain grit that has been washed out of mined coal and deposited in a pile. Slag heaps are ideal places to search for fossils from the Carboniferous period. These gravel heaps are also an ideal habitat

Going to Maastricht without even seeing the Meuse. You don't do that. Even if I do see the Meuse from time to time. So, after my Meuse-less evening outing in Maastricht, I had to take a walk along the river. An opportunity arose because one of the sons, the musician, had to be in Maasmechelen early again

As usual, there was no Christmas market on the agenda this year. But, lo and behold, as so often happens, we did end up at one. In fact, we walked to two Christmas markets in one day.
In the morning, we were in Leuven visiting my mother at the residential care center, and after the first residents' meeting

After a walk in the De Krang nature reserve between Tungelroy and Swartbroek, filmed in two parts, I picked up my son near Peer. He had to go to the (music) academy in Maasmechelen afterward. Although it was getting dark, I decided to take a short walk on one of the slag heaps and a bit on the water

According to an old Chinese saying, you should start a new recording of your return journey if you accidentally stopped recording after your outward journey. That's not true, but it could have been. Anyway, I did, and here's the result of the recording of the return walk from Roukespeelven in the De

The musician's son had to be between Hechtel-Eksel and Peer. Instead of waiting there, I quickly cobbled together a stroll on the other side of the border. I drove to Tungelroy, a sub-municipality of Weert, to walk from there to the De Krang nature reserve, part of KempenBroek.
To discover another Dutch

My previous walk, from Wommersom, ended just a stone's throw from the Tienen sugar factory, and ended a little further on.
This time, the starting point was the Kleine Gete in Hélécine. From there, I passed the abbey and the "said fields," sunken lanes, and beet fields to the pilgrimage village of Hakendover

When I find some time, I try to walk along the rivers in my (wider) region, these days mostly in East Brabant. One of these is the Grote Gete, which flows through Tienen and meets the Kleine Gete in Budingen just north of Zoutleeuw. After that, the waters of the Kleine and Grote simply form part of the

I think I still had coal dust from my previous walk in Winterslag on my mind, because even though I'd left home with six possible destinations in mind, I still ended up in Blegny.
First, the village. Let's see what a village in the Herve region, once home to a coal mine—which can still be visited underground
