Many of you have probably already figured it out. Both my husband and myself enjoy coming to Luxembourg. Despite the fact that we have been visiting this small European country for years, it never gets boring. We are therefore increasingly looking for smaller roads that can only be followed in better weather conditions (read: no snow).
 

But Luxembourg also offers a lot of variety. You can literally follow a route in one day that goes over a rolling hilly landscape with many grasslands to the rocky mountain area with its associated valleys, mountain rivers and waterfalls.

Every time I'm in Luxembourg, I fall in love with that country all over again. The roads are mostly perfect, with a lot of variety, with beautiful views and through varied forests. The locals are very hospitable. Despite the fact that they can sometimes get a bit crazy from the many motorbikers. Especially in the summer. However, with a friendly nod and a smile, they are always willing to speak to you and help if necessary.

The love I have for Luxembourg has made me want to share it with others.

Last weekend it was a new adventure. For the first time I was a tour guide for a small group of motorbikers.

We slept in the so-called Barrels at camping Val d'Or in Kiischpelt. These were equipped with basically everything. Good beds, well-functioning heating, refrigerator, microwave, coffee, barbecue, etc. The sanitary building was really a 30-second walk and also neatly cared for. In the morning, the freshly ordered baguettes were neatly delivered to the door. They were even still warm and of good quality.

The group had indicated in advance that they were interested in some history, but also nature. Not so much sporty riding (which was not possible given the weather conditions), but enjoying the environment and possibly visiting pieces of history.

The outward journey on Friday consisted mainly of enjoying beautiful roads, getting some groceries and getting used to the bends and finding the right gear. After all, riding here is different than in the Netherlands.
 

For Saturday I had made a route of about 260 kilometers. Despite the drizzly weather, it was simply a pleasure. The route took the group over beautiful winding roads, past various historic castles and through the beautiful forests which were beautiful in the autumn colors.

The narrower, smaller roads were also sought out. These are often roads with a warning sign. Most motorbikers avoid these, but these are often of excellent quality. The warning sign mainly applies when it is freezing and/or snowing. The roads in question are not maintained during these situations. The rest of the year, these roads can take you through the most beautiful hidden spots in Luxembourg.

The advantage of this season and the weather conditions we had was that it was fairly quiet on the road and that almost no tourists/visitors were present at the tourist spots. This allowed the beautiful places to be admired in peace.
 

Even the beautiful nature reserve around Mullerthall could be visited in peace.

The Sunday consisted of visiting the war monument of Bastogne and then riding almost all the way through to Brussels. Unfortunately, the monument was under scaffolding for major maintenance. It doesn't make it any less impressive, though. The museum next door is also worth a visit.

The route we rode from Bastogne took us partly through the Belgian Ardennes. What a fantastic route. The asphalt was somewhat variable in quality, but it was dry and took us through many beautiful forests and along high rock formations. The route was really worth it.
 

A bit below Brussels we turned onto the main road to eventually end up together in Stabroek. Just before the border with The Netherlands. There we said goodbye to each other after the bikes refueled and we all went on our separate ways.

 
Satisfied I arrived home. Loved it. It gave me energy and pleasure in sharing my passion for motorbiking and travelling. Even if it was just for a weekend. It also meant that I now dare to draw a conclusion. I want to do this more often! Want to take and guide people on these kinds of trips/travels. The preparation was half the fun. To see the people riding home with a satisfied smile is just the finishing touch for me.
 

On to next year! More about this will be online very soon!
