    Looked like a fun adventure. Nice areas to explore. Love the towns, countryside, and buildings visited. Interesting skull sculpture thingy. Cool to see that fort structure. Nice riverside lunch too. Fun trip. Have a great day.

    Your hike is really enjoyable and relaxing to watch with the gorgeous landscapes (mostly greeneries) along the way and some interesting structures, buildings and statues in between. Two thumbs up!

    Always an early start for me but nice to end a good days hiking with a hotel to look forward too, beats a tent any day of the week. The hiking looked quite flat with plenty to see on the trail and nice weather too, which is always a massive help, especially when you are hitting over 13 miles. Day two looked like a repeat of day one with more good weather and easy hiking but good to have lunch in the same area as you previously met up with your daughter, I remember her, a whole lot of fun she seemed. The border crossing was a bit of a let down I was expecting border guards and big gates lol, cheers Alan

      Hi Alan,
      We're all part of the European Union, so no border controls anymore! 😁 Nice and easy!
      That hotel was really nice and especially mr. stepsbykaatje prefers it, so good excuse for me to book a hotel! 😁
      The 2nd day was less interesting to walk because we had quite a bit of pavement en road walking. Small roads, but still, i prefer the dirty kind of roads! 😂🤣
      My daughter is a great kid! I often think we should do more stuff together. I think she makes my videos more fun to watch when she's in it. (Better looks than this old lady as well. 😉)
      She's in good Spirit for the moment but has no time for me...
      Anyway, have a great day and upcoming weekend!
      Kaat

    Good morning, Kaat! That head thing at 4:10 is so cool! Beautiful architecture on your hotel and the buildings. Im glad you had good weather. It's awesome that you got to cross the official border between Belgium and the Netherlands! What a great trip! 😃💚👊

      The miles were doable. Mostly good roads and flat. It makes it easier to get the miles done.
      I hear people on the AT putting in 20miles days. That's a different ballgame for sure!
      Have a great day! Kaat

    Hallo, jullie drie avonturiers! We wisten niet dat Maastricht zo dichtbij was... Geweldige actie dat jullie er over heuvel en dal heen zijn gegaan.... en tussendoor ook nog kunnen genieten van een leuk hotel :) Groetjes uit Keulen en een fijne week!

    Very lovely hike. Looks like Frodo enjoyed scampering off into the bushes and trudging through the water ponds. Lol. Good resting spot at 9:52. Is your top-secret TV series going to be on Netflix? 😉

    • @StepsbyKaatje
      @StepsbyKaatje  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm not sure if it will be on Netflix. I also noticed that not all series in Belgium on Netflix are also there in USA. But if it is, I'll let you know.
      If you ever watched 'The Missing', an English serie, like almost 10 years ago, i'm on it... Haha.
      We had a great time, on the hike and as an extra for the serie! 😁

    I just love how the trails there are so picturesque in nature, and then bring you through some charming little towns as well. The perfect kind of hiking for me. I noticed the tall grass throughout your route, do you have to worry about ticks there? They are really bad here this season.

    • @StepsbyKaatje

Can’t wait to hear more once you are able to talk about it. Ooo that boat reminds me of the river cruise boat I took last year. I hope you enjoyed your hike!

      I still don't know when the serie will be out. But it was fun. I have done things like that before. I have even been in a movie with Anthony Hopkins... haha, Not that I got to see him, because I was in the part that was filmed in Europe and you only see me crossing the street when the police car is leaving the police station. haha

    Another great nature hike. How warm is it there right now? As soon as I'm a full time travel vlogger (and don't have to work in the summer) I'm coming out there in the summer to hike with you. The nature, farms and town along the way are what make treks in Europe so much different than treks through the US.

    • @StepsbyKaatje
      @StepsbyKaatje  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's true. Europe is quite different than the States when it comes to nature. But having villages along the way sure has its advantages. :-)
      I hope becoming an full-time travel vlogger will work out for you!
