Today I did my 18th episode of the #GR5, an exact 20 km from Testelt to Diest in Belgium. After the Demerbroeken, the landscape became noticeably different from the past two episodes. I left the Campine and arrived in the gentle hills of the Hageland, where I could see the tower of the Averbode abbey for the last time. The sudden change of scenery is why I love long distance trails so much.

Diest is an very important hub in the long distance trails in the eastern part of the Flemish region. Besides the GR5, at this waymarker the GR512 to Geraardsbergen (connecting the GR5 Hoek van Holland-Nice and GR12 Amsterdam-Paris) and the GR561 to Lommel and Maastricht start their long journeys.

GR5. Naar Nice lopen. Dat klinkt als nog wel een keer leuk om te doen…

@sjaakkeuvelaar ik heb voorlopig de Ballon d’Alsace als doel voor over een paar jaar.
