| After a mere stroll up Vaalserberg and the bus up to Botrange, surely Buurgplaatz would form a small but decent hike. Arriving from Troisponts in Belgium on a cheap fare train (I didn't know that you had to be Under 26 to get the cheap fare), discovered that the Youth Hostel was closed but the pub was open. A few pints and a somewhat chilly night on the bench outside the station.
Early next morning an empty bus left the station and remained empty until it dropped me at the roadhead to the Buurgplaatz. Rain dropped as I climbed the road and before I could say "Buurgplaatz" I was there. A few photos of the tower from the fields full of flowers and then a quick retreat - catching the same bus on its return leg - still empty! |
