Despite the long walk of yesterday we feel rather fit so we opt to do another long walk but this time we will cross the border with the Netherlands. And more important: Elgar joined us for this trip. So....watch out for the pictures with a moose on it.

Good to know:
Distance: 21 kms
Rate: easy
Map (incl. elevation information): Teuven circular walk
GPS-track available for download: yes

As always all photo's can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Again start is from the B&B de Kraanvogel in Sint Pietersvoeren. It is so convenient not to drive to somewhere for a starting point but just to walk out the door of your B&B and to start walking.
The church of Sint Pietersvoeren in full sunlight and once again a picture of the half-timbered houses in Veurs.



This track is familiar to us now as we have crossed this path on every hike we did in this area. But like stated before, it is our favorite spot.

We cross a forest and here the track only goes up-hill, but luckily there is shade everywhere. After leaving this forest behind us, we arrive in an agricultural landscape. And..... there is Elgar.

You will see many many cows along this track and they are indeed very curious creatures. Also some castles can be found along the track, but they are not open to the public.

Finally we arrived in a forest again and thus protecting us against the burning sun.

And as always: hiking makes one hungry so we walk towards Teuven where you can have a lunch at Cafe Modern or Restaurant Moeder de Gans. As we had eaten previously at Moeder de Gans (see our Heijenrath walk), we opted this time for Cafe Modern which recently won an award for being the most extraordinary cafe of Belgium.

Here we made a small detour to have a look at the Church of Teuven but ofcourse you can opt to disregard this few hundred meters and to immediately leave Teuven behind you by going to the right at the first crossing you encounter when leaving the cafe. We climb all the way up a road and by accident we see the sign “Gelato Farm” and well.....after this climb we deserve an icecream and wow...it was bigger than we had anticipated. But well deserved, that is for sure.

After this particular climb the track is going downhill again for a very long time and finally you will arrive at a tiny little villlage with this old fashioned signpost and after a couple of kms we see this boundary marker. Elgar finds it to be the best spot to take a picture.

We are getting tired by now and slowly progress in getting back to our B&B. But we make it in the end.

A great walk with lots of hills to climb, good food and lovely views.
