A good morning!

We woke up late, it was not that cold this morning. With the sunlight between the trees we were now able to see where exactly we’ve slept. There was a path not far from where our tent was. We ate some bread and walked around a bit to take some photos.

Going to the train station

After packing our tent we went to try the path. It led down towards the road, ended behind the houses we saw yesterday. If we'd seen this path the day before we didn't have to struggle through the bushes. Walking to the station be discussed where to go next. I remembered an awesome place to hike and camp near Maastricht, the Netherlands. I wanted to go to Kanne, not far from there is the Caestert Plateau. It's the Northern part of a high plain between the valleys of the river Geer, and the Meuse. Inside the mountain is a limestone groove where you can wander around like it's a huge dark maze. Ilya said it was a good idea, since we'd also be closer to home. At the station we got on a train we thought that would take us closer. We didn't really know what direction to go. In the train a nice ticket inspector told us which trains to take, so that was great.

The Netherlands

In Maastricht we went to McDonald's to go to the toilet, and waited for the bus to Kanne. When we arrived in Kanne, we were back in Belgium!

St. Pietersberg

In Kanne we headed towards the Sint Pietersberg. We walked past a canal where we had a nice view of the 'Brug bij Kanne'.

To go up St. Pietersberg, we had to climb steep hills with ropes to hold on to (climbing photos in next post). on the hill was a big open field where we could see the bridge again. It was quite a view. 15 minutes further we came across a small manor that was being renovated. I unfortunately couldn't take a nice picture of it:

Limestone Grooves

Not far (500 meters) from there was an entrance to the grooves. There were other people inside when we arrived. The entrance was massive big concrete wall with a man-size hole on the side. We asked for a map, but the only ones they had were in their heads. We said bye and walked into one of the many dark tunnels. We didn't go too far because we didn't want to get lost. We came across some fun things to climb, dropped our bags, lit some candles and tried the climbs.

I'm not sure if this is the right map, but you get the idea of how big it is. Some parts collapsed, different layers, so easy to get lost.

After an hour we got out of the maze and went to the viewpoint where we wanted to set up our tent. It was windy, but not hard to set up the tent. We found a tiny flat, soft spot with grass and parked our tent there. It was a tight fit, with the cliffs, the rocks and a tree, but it was worth the struggle! We slept with the best view of the area next to a 25 meter (or higher) cliff.

That's me.
