May 6, 2025,Boucle depuis SAINT-JEAN SART (Aubel, province de Liège)- Abbaye de Val-Dieu.

Departure: Val-Dieu Abbey parking lot in Saint-Jean Sart (Aubel).
A beautiful hike through the flowery groves in spring. Crossing numerous meadows thanks to the stiles, you'll encounter curious cows!
Some sections, however, are on quiet back roads.
Val-Dieu Abbey: a monastery of Cistercian monks active from 1216 to 2001.
Remarkable trees in the garden of Val-Dieu Abbey.

January 7, 2026,14,5 km winterwandeling door de Voerstreek

This hike was initially my second route of the year, and one I'll remember for a long time. The plan was to start early in the morning, but due to some circumstances, the adventure didn't actually begin until around noon. As if that wasn't enough, I was also allowed to make an extra loop back to the car because my …

February 17, 2024,Pittige wandeling St.Jean-Sart, Val-Dieu en Aubel

A tough, often very muddy walk from St.Jean-Sart. Up to the viewpoint, very special. Then it's all downhill and up again (times 'tig' 😬). Val-Dieu Abbey, which was quite busy, visited the toilet for a visit. And further again, over beautiful roads but also through large meadows with lots of mud and puddles of water. Beautiful views constantly surround us. …

February 18, 2026,De Oversteek van Val-Dieu

Bereid je voor want dit wordt nogal een groot wandelverslag.

Laten we er maar mee beginnen dat ik zelf de afgelopen vijf dagen behoorlijk ziek ben geweest. Echt zo’n periode waarin je lichaam je dwingt om stil te staan. Binnen blijven rusten hoesten herstellen niet bepaald mijn favoriete bezigheid. Toch moesten we even pas op de plaats maken. Afgelopen zondag …

May 30, 2025,Wandeling Aubel - Val-Dieu

From Aubel we walk to the abbey of Val-Dieu. We cross the Bel for the first time. A beautiful field path takes us past the Saint-Anne chapel and a farm. From here we cross one meadow after another, from one gate to another. A long climb is rewarded with a beautiful view of the bocage landscape. Further on we enjoy …

July 13, 2025,Von Aubel nach Val-Dieu

The route takes us through a lovely landscape, across meadows and fields, with views of the Battice Plain. Halfway through, we stopped at the Val Dieu Abbey for a crêpe to recharge our batteries. Given today's weather, it was naturally very crowded.

Have a lovely Sunday evening, everyone 🥾🙋‍♀️

May 6, 2022,Eine Tour zur Abtei Val - Dieu 🇧🇪

On this tour from Aubel in Belgium to the Abbaye Val Dieu, the path led us into the slopes of the "Val Dieu". You had to be on your guard because often such hidden paths or rather unexpected paths prompted you to look for the way more often.
At first the view of the valley was denied by a hazy …
