Ik hou van avontuurlijke wandeltochten over kleine, stille paadjes in de natuur – liefst waar je zo weinig mogelijk andere mensen tegenkomt. Daarom ben ik grote fan van de website originelewandelingen.be waar ik inmiddels zo’n zestigtal wandelingen van heb gedaan. Sinds 2023 is mijn drang om telkens naar de Ardennen te rijden wat afgenomen, en focus ik vooral op wandelingen in Vlaanderen.

Ik heb diverse trekkings ondernomen, zowel in binnen- als buitenland. Internationaal deed ik onder andere de Salkantay (Peru), K2 en Gondogoro La (Pakistan), Laugavegur (IJsland), Dingle Way (Ierland), Westweg (Duitsland), West Highland Way (Schotland), Jordan Trail (Jordanië) en de Alta Via I (Italië). Dichter bij huis liep ik onder meer de Eislek Trail, Müllerthal Trail en Lee Trail. Sommige langeafstandstrails, zoals de National Park Trail (Hoge Kempen) en de GR5A Kustroute heb ik in dagetappes afgelegd.

Ook tijdens mijn reizen maakte ik vaak wandelingen, onder andere in Argentinië (El Chaltén), Chili (Torres del Paine), Mongolië, Nieuw-Zeeland, Australië, Namibië, Mexico, Costa Rica, Bolivia en andere landen.

Ik beschik ook over een profiel op Wikiloc waar honderden wandelingen meer staan vermeld dan bij Komoot. Tegenwoordig registreer ik mijn wandelingen echtermet Komoot omdat ik het handiger vind dan Wikiloc (routes zelf uittekenen en gesproken navigatie). Mijn profiel: nl.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/user.do?id=5553150

My desire to get up at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning to go on another extensive Ardennes hike is as great as Georges-Louis Bouchez's desire to raise VAT. I am seeking my hiking salvation closer to home, specifically in the Haspengouw region, where I am taking a fairly short walk between Landen

The kilometer-eaters of recent weeks in Wallonia make way this week for a Kempen silence walk. Reason: I need time to prepare my trip to Japan. And that takes up much more time than I initially thought.



Under a threatening sky, I start the walk, but it soon lights up blue when the clouds leave me with

Autumn is really coming now and this Sunday might be my last chance to enjoy a pleasant late summer. I seize that chance with both feet to take a short walk in the rolling landscape around Halen, which strings together the hollow roads. Sometimes asphalted, sometimes with gravel, sometimes with sand

De eerste kilometers van deze treinstapper zijn het tegendeel van mij: onschuldig. Vanuit het station van Melreux-Hotton verlaat ik het dorp en wandel ik bij het ochtendgloren richting de Ourthe. Over een halfverhard pad volg ik de rivier naar Hotton, langs weiden en campings die verraden dat dit in

Especially the first four kilometers are beautiful. Under a blue sky, I walk through rolling grasslands and a stately deciduous forest, with some paths

De wandeling begint aan het station van Angleur, tegenwoordig een deelgemeente van Luik en ooit sterk verweven met de industrie langs de Ourthe. De eerste kilometers herinneren daar nog aan. Ik steek het Ourthekanaal over, een negentiende eeuwse waterweg die ooit deel moest uitmaken van een veel ambitieuzere

The landscape here consists of a mix of pine and deciduous forest where avenues stretch out straight ahead of

When you say Rochefort, you might first think of beer and then cheese. But it turns out you can also hike beautifully here. On this train-hiker, I take a loop through chalk grasslands, scree fields, and a lot of forest.



Rochefort-Jemelle is the title in the NMBS app when I commute here. Jemelle is the

The hike starts at Keiheuvel, and you are immediately presented with perhaps the most beautiful and characteristic landscape of the tour. The combination of forest, fens, and Kempen sand dunes offers considerable variety here. Walking is a bit more difficult over the loose sand sections, but that's precisely

This short late summer walk takes me to Meerhout where I do a walk of just over ten kilometers on mainly asphalt and concrete. It is a rural walk with only a small amount of space for nature. The most special element of this walk is the memorial De Vleugel, which commemorates a British plane shot down

I found this route earlier this year on Komoot, where it is advertised as a heathland walk. That is a serious distortion of the truth. There are absolutely beautiful stretches of heathland on this walk, but it certainly does not form the main part of this route. The walk is an amalgam of the Kleine Nete

I really enjoyed yesterday's hike and it seems my foot injury is not too bad. With this beautiful weather, it would be a crime not to go out. The Hageland became my destination again today, and there's a good reason for that. It is, after all, one of the more beautiful regions in Flanders. In particular

In a not so great moment of relaxation, three weeks ago I half twisted my ankle in Johnston Canyon in Canada. This means slow recovery and therefore I'm taking it easy today. This hike explores the vicinity of Kaggevinne which is divided in two by Diest and Scherpenheuvel. The surroundings are as we
