B - Ardennen 2019

Start van onze Ardennenwandeling met een stadswandeling in Eupen. Leuke plek met beneden- en bovenstad.

Bij gebrek aan een geschikte, beveiligde parkeerplaats voor de auto reden we door naar Jalhay, het startpunt van onze wandeling. Onderweg een omweg naar het "Lac de la Gileppe".

Een heel mooi begin van onze routewandeling.

Het startpunt van onze wandeling, het restaurant en B&B "La Ferme du Helivy" kunnen we absoluut aanraden!!! 👍👍

Op de eerste foto zie je links het supadupa 👎luxe hostel 🤣 "Francorchamps Guesthouse", wat je NIET mag!!! rekening moet houden. Meer informatie per e-mail...

Of course that was only the way there - I recorded the paths during the day criss-crossing the small center of Malmedy. 🤣

Exactement - just a short break after work as a test / exploration for the next day.

Yes, we had asphalt roads for a long time. The landscape has compensated us for it. And considering that we're there in less than two hours (by car), we're wondering now why we did not do that earlier and more often! Others need time to check in at the airport ... 😁

This cuddly pig had made independently and a trip to the village. First we had to push it for the car off the road and then it came to us to fetch food. But gave nothing ... 😪

Why is the sneezing? Histamine in beer or by name?

The last part of the tour (from km 10,7) was made by Komoot through the Houffalize MTB area - we were lucky that we did not get in anyone's way (who rightly complained). Therefore keep left from km 10.2 and avoid the MTB-terrain!

This tour is only recommended during the week and off the holidays, unless you are a fan of mass events! Otherwise, along the two streams a pretty nice hike; between 3.5 km and 5.8 km, the path is rather boring - apart from the landmark. The last part (road and concrete path) along the Amblève (Amel… meer lezen

Durbuy is the smallest town in Belgium - and that is marketed accordingly. One café next to the other, of course lots of shops selling souvenirs. And if you come to Durbuy on a Monday, all the "sidewalks are up" and in the whole town, except in a few open cafes, absolutely "dead pants"! 🤭
