The Netherlands, Ardennes, Part 1, tracks to follow.
Paul Weijenberg
The Belgian Ardennes are quite large. Steep hills
and valleys. In the past, there were dangerous routes
through watery terrain.
Those tracks are all closed now. You have to circle
around these humid terrains nowadays, and you
have to stay on paths, roads too.
To give an impression of what you can encounter,
this article illustrates the variety roads and paths to
cover the distances through the beautiful Ardennes.
Next best to tarmac for making speed through the
terrain is grass, mostly fire corridors. The maps
show them all, and it is imperative to walk with a
good map!
To the east we see quite some kilometres of tarmac.
Grass is good to walk on even in rain, slippery but
manageable.
Fast and you can not go wrong! But, no adventure,
no challenge for feet or mind, those long straight
tarmac roads….
However, when you're early in the morning, you can
catch the rising sun.
