    Gevarieerde, mooie wandeling met weinig hoogteverschillen. Opgepast: na 4 km (50.445959°, 6.149584°) zou je volgens de track/kaart tussen bosrand en weide naar de Warche afdalen. Er is echter een prikkeldraad en bordje 'Privé' en geen blauwe rechthoekjes meer. Afdalen door het bos is gevaarlijk steil, er is geen pad. Ga 100m terug. Daar kan je een goed pad met rood-witte GR-markeringen volgen, omlaag naar de Warche en kom je aan een plankenpad waar ook weer blauwe rechthoekjes zijn.

    Wij kozen als startpunt de kleine parking aan de overkant van het meer en deden de wandeling in de andere richting dan hier aangegeven. Heerlijk wandelen zonder op de kaart te moeten kijken want de route is perfect aangegeven met bordjes. Heel afwisselende paden en omgeving. Zeer veel bankjes onderweg om even uit te rusten, ook composttoilet onderweg en verschillende vuilnisbakken.

    Die Tour geht fast ausschließlich durch den Wald bei guter Wegbeschaffenheit. Wer keinen Wert auf Abwechslung in der Landschaft und, zumindest unter der Woche seine Ruhe sucht ist mit der Route bestens bedient.

    Sehr schöner Rundweg, für meinen Geschmack etwas überlaufen! Das kann aber auch am Feiertag (Himmelfahrt) gelegen haben, oder beim nächsten mal noch früher gehen (Wir waren um 09:00h dort)

    I noticed that your channel has great potential, but it seems like your videos aren’t getting the reach they deserve. Have you thought about optimizing your videos for better visibility and engagement?

    Eine schöne, abwechslungsreiche Strecke: Meist breite, gut begehbare Waldwege, aber auch einzelne Pfadabschnitte. Die Narzissen haben uns natürlich super gefallen - jedes Jahr aufs Neue schön!

    Schöne Gravel-Runde, allerdings auch schon ein wenig anspruchsvoll :). Die Strecke führt zum Teil entlang eines XC-Trails.

    Arriving by train in the morning in Troisvierges, you can reach Aachen in one day with the racing bike. Aachen has lot’s of hotels to spend the night. Perfect tour, strongly recommanded. Best regards, Arne
