A short, but scenically really beautiful round through the 'Valley of God'!! Very varied. Excellent, my recommendation!

It goes a lot across fields, through various turnstiles, and there is also a nice long climb. Grotesquely muscled meat 🐄 at the viewpoint 🥺.

Afterwards a beer in the Abbeye Val-Dieu - that's all it takes 😃🌾🍺⛪✝️
