A lovely spring Sunday

Last weekend I stayed away from my Triumphs again. Instead I enjoyed a lovely walk through the southern area of my hometown. A few pictures taken during this circa 25 kilometre walk;

Nature reserve Hühnerkamp on the border between The Netherlands and Germany
(Maalbekerweg Belfeld).

Enjoying lunch in the beergarden of the former Trappist abbey Ulingsheide.
Again on the border between The Netherlands and Germany (Ulingsheide Tegelen).

(Ulingsheide Tegelen).


The perimeter wall of the Abbey complex Ulingsheide
(3e Landweerweg Tegelen).

“De Wittebeek” in the so called Jaomerdal, or Wailing Valley.
Legend has it that Julius Caesar's outgoing 14th legion was ambushed in 54 BC, after promising a free retreat.
The Eburone tribe led by Ambiorix is said to have massacred the 14th legion here (Jaomerdalseweg Venlo).

Major construction work for a new underground railway crossing
(Vierpaardjes Venlo).

Café De Klep. with one of the best beer gardens in town
(Floddergats Venlo).

New nature along the banks of the River Meuse
(Springbeek Blerick).

The Holy Spirit Monastery, one of the many monasteries for which the village of Steyl is famous,
seen from the opposite bank of the River Meuse (Brangk Baarlo).
