Day 4: Membach - Weiswampach (L)

Border triangle of B/D/LToday I start with a ramp of many kilometers which I have to climb up. Afterwards it's a fast change between first and last gear which gives me a maximum speed of 75km/h. Shortly after I've reached that speed I have to brake to 0. Something like that should happen several times still. Obviously, Belgians have a strange sense of building roads. If you aren't on the main road and therefore have to look for the main road then usually the road you are on becomes steeper and more narrow. Sometimes there's still a corner in the road. That means that quite often you have to destroy all the nice speed you have won and that you could have used for climbing up the next hill again just by braking. I begin to love my disk brakes... And I pass the Formula 1 circuit near Spa which is really embedded into an enormously hilly landscape. Quite impressive if you only know it from TV or computer games.

Today I cycle to the border triangle of Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. A nice spot in a nice valley, not really a touristic hotspot. When entering Luxembourg I suddenly have to exit this valley and the road doesn't offer a better option than doing this as straight as possible. I find a camping site in Weiswampach which actually is very nice. If there wasn't that grandpa-father-son-daughter combo from Germany with some questionable pedagogical methods from the father's side. Otherwise it is a nice spot, directly at a lake. I wash my clothes because the shower time is much too long anyway and walk to a supermarket there in the town.
