David's Walks Across the Ardennes and Surrounding Area

This page lists and maps the walks I have done across the Ardennes, and more recently elsewhere in Belgium and in neighbouring countries.
To reach the start and end points of each of these walks, I used only foot or public transport (mainly the railway stations shown).
The map is an adaptation of the map I created (found here) from the old map at the SNCB / NMBS (Belgian railways) website.
Note: Many other walks (typically starting and ending at the same place) have been omitted from the list and map.
