The regional Long Distance Path in the South of Limburg, called Krijtlandpad officially (as far you can call it that way) starts in the provincial capital Maastricht (that has it’s roots in the Roman Empire), going south to Eupen, then east over Slenaken to Vaals, and back west, over Gulpen and Valkenburg to Maastricht.
Between Slenaken and Gulpen, there is a shortcut, that allows to do the whole path in two loops: a loop from Maastricht over Slenaken and Gulpen back to Maastricht and a loop from Slenaken over Vaals and Gulpen back to Slenaken.
That is: if you follow the route couter-clockwise.
In spring – just after Eastern – we did the second (Eastern – how coincidental!) loop, clockwise. We set off in Vaals, hit the Dutch summit on the Vaalser Berg (321 m) where three borders meet, down to Slanaken were we camped overnight (close to Slenaken, in Heyenrade). The next day we took the shortcut (in the “right” direction) to Gulpen and crossed the Margraten Plateau back to Vaals.
Of course there are pictures, and the tracks in GPX (both walks in one file) and CSV format: The first and second walk.
The reminaing tracks are covered in the Western loop
