Belgium (The Ardennes), May 29-June 1, 2025

The annual tradition of going away for a weekend with the Van der Weijde family in May/June, brought us this time to the
Belgian Ardennes. We stayed from May 29 to June 1, 2025 in a spacious holiday villa in Dochamps, Manhay (LX) and made some
short trips in the immediate area from there. It was mainly a family weekend, so the number of nature excursions was limited;
however, we did get the macro lens out a few times during the walks.
