Forest shrine with crucifix

Highlight • Religious Site

This section is very pleasant to walk along the edge of the forest with beautiful deciduous trees and hedges, especially in the light of late afternoon or early evening.

Here you can rediscover a long forgotten land. Neutral Moresnet 1816-1919. A neutral territory. It belongs to Belgium today. Here in the forest you can find traces and references to this small former land.

Boundary Marker at the Former Neutral Moresnet Border

Did a Mr. Paths tour today and didn't want to drive that far. Great round 3/4 only paths and only really great through forest and meadows.

Another Mr. Paths tour – Belgium never disappoints. Beautiful scenery and nothing to do 😀
Lots of paths – but also some sections of the original route are no longer passable (unfortunately, there's no way through at km 5.8 at the moment) – in some other places, finding your way without a GPS is impossible. Plus, I wasn't paying attention …

My tour today took me to Moresnet-Chapelle (Eastern Belgium) on the Mr.Pfade Moresnet-Chapelle adventure tour, which was given as having a 90% path share...and rightly so! Shortly after the start until a few kilometers before the end, you walk with small, short breaks through ferns that are now several meters high, past foxgloves and holly on very narrow forest paths …

After 9 km, the only option to continue is to cross a railway embankment with 2 tracks without a level crossing and then make your way through 150 m of thorny forest. I then needed 15 patches. Incidentally, the route went for kms over ATB routes with all the usual obstacles and there was a lot of scrambling and climbing.

The hike starts at the car park at the end of Rue d'Aux, north of Kelmis and Neu-Moresnet.
This time there are 9 of us. We continue straight through the forest. Since it has rained a lot recently, some of the paths and trails are muddy.
On our hike we walk along and along the former border of the Prussian …

The weather forecast was unfortunately wrong. The really beautiful route with small paths was overshadowed by the strong wind and rain. So we made it a bit shorter and quickly went to our house in Eys to warm up.

I finally got a chance to hike from @Mr. Pfade! Unfortunately I had to shorten it because I was only leaving this morning, so I wasn't there until around 11 and it got too hot for the dog. The area is great! You can really have fun with a mountain bike, I could also ride a lot with the spring-loaded …
