ᵂᴱᴿᴮᵁᴺᴳ Forest, small lakes and ponds, sandy passages and open areas that alternate surprisingly frequently over short distances, plus deep purple heather bloom and a small animal surprise – that's roughly how today's tour can be described in one sentence. Norbertine Walk is the name of the approximately

ᵂᴱᴿᴮᵁᴺᴳ Today, a really beautiful tour was on the agenda, which combines nature, history, and culture surprisingly well. Initially, the tour starts unspectacularly by a small stream. But shortly thereafter, I hike through a huge former ducal hunting ground, past centuries-old ponds, through royal gardens

ᵂᴱᴿᴮᵁᴺᴳ Yes, I admit, I hadn't Flandern on my radar at all as a hiking region. Yet the northern region of Belgium, which rhymes so nicely with "hiking", offers quite a bit of variety. This tour through the Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide combines exactly what I particularly like about hiking: lots of nature

The beautiful city of Courtrai deserves a little stopover before you hit the road again. Don't miss (among others) the Saint-Elizabeth Beguinage, the Belfry on the Grand-Place, the Broel Towers, remnants of the medieval ramparts, the multimedia museum « Kortrijk 1302: one day, seven centuries » and the

Do you know the Mur de Grammont? It's a legendary climb associated with the Tour of Flanders, a formidable cobbled ascent where the best riders have battled. The Vallonnée Route trace only covers a part of it, but while you're there, you might as well go all the way to the summit of the Oudenberg to

The Route Vallonnée is very easily accessible from Brussels, the latter offering a multitude of train connections from France, Germany, the Netherlands and, of course, Belgium.
From the station, it will take you about 12 kilometers to reach the official trail. The transition is very simple, it runs almost

Greetings from Flanders - the region in the north of Belgium that is fortunately only a stone's throw away from my home in the Ruhr area! Over the next few days I'll be looking at several hiking trails in different parts of the region. The fact that hiking in Flanders rhymes so well can only be a sign

My last tour on the small hiking tour through Flanders takes me to another corner of Limburg. The RivierPark Maasvallei nature reserve stretches along the Maas on both the Dutch and Belgian sides. I start in the tranquil Maas village of Oud-Rekem, where there are lots of cute cafes, picturesque houses

Of course we also pay a visit to Limburg, the easternmost province of Flanders. Here we are not far from our Dutch neighbours and my hood in the Ruhr area - almost a home game. From the historic market square of the pretty little town of Bilzen we head straight into nature and straight up. Bilzen has

On my hiking tour through the Belgian region of Flanders, I have now traveled further into the area a little south of Brussels. The cool thing about the Treinstapper hikes is that they run along Flemish GR long-distance hiking trails and are easy to reach by public transport. And so today I am hiking

The last day in Flanders is dawning! It's a shame, because we would love to cycle to Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges and everywhere else! 🥰 We feel right at home between the old brick houses, the green oases of peace and the many other cyclists and could definitely stay in Flanders for longer.
But today's tour

Today's goal: As much enjoyment as possible! 😁 Both on and off the bike. So we start the day with freshly brewed coffee in one of the cozy roasteries in the middle of Leuven's historic center. ☕️ Luckily the sun is shining and the blue sky is tempting us onto our bikes, otherwise we probably wouldn

In the afternoon, I (Reini) go for another ride out of Leuven and up into the hills of Hageland! Angi has a cold, so she decides to take it easy for the afternoon.
Leaving the beautiful university town of Leuven, I follow the "Horstroute." It is one of many "Flanders Finest Cycling Routes" visitflanders.com/en/flandersfinestcycleroutes

My last hike showed me the Belgian Flanders from a completely different side. This time I was out in the Thorpark, a part of the Hoge Kempen National Park – and the landscape here tells quite impressively about how much a place can change.
The Hoge Kempen today consist of an exciting puzzle of
