After finishing the Pilgrim’s route through the Netherlands, I switched to the GR57, a long distance hiking trail through the Ardennes in Belgium. The Wallonian part of Belgium to be more precise and further on through Luxembourg where the GR57 listens to a different name ˝Sentier du Nord˝, but it still follows the Ourthe until Diekirch (Luxembourg).

Author’s recommendation

Although the route is well marked, I used a GPS with the original GPX-track to navigate. I can recommend that to everyone who doesn't want to carry the hiking guidebook or maps.
