I have lived in Belgium for the past 25 years and have got to know and love this varied country. I’m married to Liz, we have four children aged between 21 and 27, and I run my own technical copywritingbusiness from our home in Kortenberg. My hobbies include walking, cycling, reading, anything to do with nature, blogging, all kinds of puzzles, and playing the piano. Denzil
Discovering Belgium
Suggestions of places to visit in Belgium that are "off the beaten track"
Hi Denzil:
Taru from WIC TOURS has forwarded your website/blog to myself and Helen Palk as we will be taking over the WIC TOURS group for next year. Of course we have to get busy now to plan ahead…I have submitted my email for blog updates and look forward to taking a day trip with you one day. I’ve just returned home from the floralia-brussels…splendid, indeed.
Thanks!!
Lori
Thanks for your comment Lori. Glad you liked Floralia. Look forward to hearing more from WIC members.
Hi,
Just came across your blog & thought you might be able to offer ideas.
We are travelling to Begium for the 1st time later this month. We arrive at Brussels airport and have booked 1 night in Brugge & 1 night in Antwerp. Originally, thought we’d rent a car at BRU and travel, we are staying 3 nights outside of Namur with family friends. Our final destination is a wedding in Heidelburg the first weekend in July.
I just found out that there is a 300euro surcharge to return rental car in Stuttgart, so I am now thinking about renting 2 cars, one for Belgium and i for Germany and taking trains in between.
I would love any advice that you could offer, including places to see, where to find train inf, etc.
best,
Donna
Have just emailed you some suggestions Donna
Hi Denzil. So happy to have found your site. I am looking for a good 3 day walk in a scenic part of Belgium that is accessible by train from Brussels. There is so little I found on the web in english.
I was hoping for a 30-35 mile walk. I will do this in November so I know it will be chilly
. Any recommendations on the right maps, etc. would be great.
Thanks so much for your recommendations.
I sent you some ideas by email Fred. Did you enjoy your trip to Belgium?
