May 24, 2026,Rondtocht Kunderberg en Groeve Putberg

This morning I started early on the circular tour from Op de Vrouweheide towards the Kunderberg. I had already come across this route last Thursday in my weekend collection on Komoot and it immediately caught my eye. Because the route was only a fifteen-minute drive away, it was the ideal choice for today. Especially now that the car's clutch plate …

First, we strolled through Ubachsberg, then headed into nature at Kunderberg. The route was undulating with a few short, challenging climbs.
Finally, we walked through the Putbergbron, with …

June 14, 2024,Kalkoven route V19 Voerendaal

A wonderful trip, Kalkoven route V19 from Visitzuidlimburg. Nice narrow paths between the fields and along slopes. Various former lime kilns and sometimes a sign with explanation. A bit of climbing every now and then, but that is part of our beautiful Limburg hill country. Enjoyed all the views. 😊
