On our way back up the Vennbahn we decide to check out the route from Born which is also paved but quite hilly so we didn’t go too far along…just enough to get a fabulous view from the top of the hill!

Next we went down another rail trail from Waimes to Malmedy. A downhill run but again, because it is a rail grade it’s never more than 2%, so coming back up was no big deal, especially on the smooth pavement. For most of the ride we were beside a babbling brook and through a forest.

We have seen lots of these “insect houses” along the trails which look like they would definitely attract mason bees for pollination.
