Will we or will we not be able to (leisure)travel again in 2021? That’s the question! But what we can say with certainty is the growing popularity of staycations. And I’m guilty too! With this guide, I’m introducing my personal favorite Belgian accounts to inspire you for your next staycation 🇧🇪 (there is no order of preference in this post)

When planning my next hiking trip I consult the @erop.uit page as it gives a clear overview of possible routes, along with the connecting points (wandelknooppunten). As lazy as I am, I love it when people share an all‑ready‑prepared‑hiking route online ☀️ Content in Dutch

I hope this may help you plan a fun trip to Belgium! Much to see and much to learn in this tiny country. Kind reminder: always stay respectful towards nature & heritage sites. Keep your dog on the leash, don’t litter, and stay on the path.
Peace and love!
