A hammer tour. Thank God I changed my mind this morning from Hoëgne and Statte to Spa. There would probably have been too little water because of the drought. Here, too, the Ruisseau de Pendu should be a highlight, almost dried up. But!!! Just the right weather and season. Max 23 degrees, a little wind and amazing views, especially from …

On the signposted circular route "Spa No. 17" we crossed the Venn near Spa and added a loop to the source of Geronstere.

The Venn landscapes are simply unique and we were extremely lucky today with the sun, the temperature and the frozen ground.
In the Venn it can easily become a mud fight and we noticed that …

A wonderful tour in hot weather at the top but there was a lot of wind and it was only 27 instead of 32°. The Venn was extremely dry and still green. With nice company, it was just a snap, two nice stops rounded off the picture. A wonderful day, I really like going on this tour at any time …

Today we walked from a parking lot near the Géronstère spring into the Fagne de Malchamps raised moor area with its numerous ponds. From the Tour Jean Valière observation tower we enjoyed the panoramic view of the raised moor. New wooden walkways take us comfortably across the plateau and through a birch forest to the Aèrodrome. The path then leads …

Not for nothing is it listed here among the top routes in the Ardennes. However, the footbridges in the Venn are unreasonable. The quality of Belgian hiking trails is well known by now, but this one had a certain risk of injury.

Today, in glorious weather, we went on a wonderful hike with some very dear friends. It took us through the Venn, through beautiful forests, along small streams, and to a lovely stop at the airfield where we could watch the skydivers. A wonderful day in great company.

With great weather, again in Spa today, this time in autumn. Crazy colors in the Venn, wide views to Kalterherberg, the Signal de Botrange or Tihange, the streams offered a lot and a great variety of mushrooms, mostly toadstools, porcini and chestnuts. It was pure balm for the soul
