Beautiful route from Zeilberg (Brabant) to Bollendorf (Eifel). Bollendorf lies on the Sauer, the border river with Luxembourg. On the other bank is the Luxembourg town of Bollendorf-Pont.

What we thought of the hotel at the time: https://www.mtczeilberg.nl/verslagen_details.phtml?id=3

After you have departed from Zeilberg, you drive inland to Klimmen, where the 1st (coffee) stop is planned at IJssalon Pleinzicht. In front of the ice cream parlor is a large parking lot where you can park the engine in sight.

After coffee we drive on and then stop at the American military cemetery Henri-Chapelle and Lac de la Gileppe to take some pictures.

The more than 20 hectares of the American military cemetery Henri-Chapelle are home to the remains of 7,992 American soldiers. Most of these men lost their lives during the advance of the American forces in Germany. The 1st American Infantry Division liberated this location on 11 September 1944. A provisional war cemetery was established on 28 September 1944.
Their tombstones are arranged in wide arches on an outstretched, sloping lawn. A road cuts through the cemetery. To the west of it, a viewpoint offers a beautiful view of the peaceful Belgian countryside that once was a battlefield. To the east there is a colonnade which forms the memorial together with the chapel and the visitors room. The chapel is simple, but richly decorated. The visitors' room contains two maps that give an insight into the military operations of the American army, engraved in black granite, with inscriptions referring to the victories of the American forces. On the rectangular pillars of the colonnade the names of 450 missing soldiers are engraved. Behind the names of the missing persons who have been found and identified, a rosette has been applied.

The cemetery contains the American dead of two major military campaigns: the campaign of the 1st American Army through Northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg towards Germany (September 1944) and the Battle of the Bulge, the German counter-offensive in the Ardennes (December 1944 - January 1945).
From the temporary cemetery Henri-Chapelle the first repatriation of fallen American soldiers to the United States was organized for reburialization in their own country. The repatriation program began on 27 July 1947 with a special ceremony in Henri-Chapelle. The first ship with mortal remains left Antwerp in early October after an impressive ceremony attended by 30,000 Belgian citizens.

The Gileppestuwdam (French: barrage de la Gileppe) is a dam in the Belgian province of Liège. The supply of water is ensured by the Gileppe, which rises in the High Fens. The original wall was the oldest concrete dam wall in Europe. The complex was officially opened on 28 July 1878 by King Leopold II. The water absorption capacity of the reservoir was then 13 million m³, with an area of 86 ha. The original purpose of the dam was to provide usable water for the textile industry in the Verviers area.

In the period 1968-1971 the dam was raised by more than 10 m. Since then the capacity of the lake is 26.5 million m³ at an area of 130 ha. Together with the Vesder dam in Eupen, the lake now provides drinking water.

The most important feature of the dam is a 13.5 meter high and 300 ton lion from sandstone. The lion stands on top of the dam wall and was put down so that he looks proudly in the direction of the only 5 kilometers removed border with the then Prussia.

After taking the pictures it is time to have lunch, we do this at the Waterfalls of Coo, where you can park your motorcycle in sight. There is plenty of choice, so something for everyone.

After lunch we often swing on beautiful motorways towards Ouren where we stop at Hotel Rittersprong for coffee with some goodies. Again, the engines are beautiful in sight. We stop in Hosingen at Dosberbreck Sam's Lounge once more to stretch the legs and refuel. After the coffee again, the bridge (route point 61) is completely lost in July (we are so lucky) due to heavy rainfall. Just before the day we arrive at the end of this route, we first refuel when we are still in Luxembourg at the Q8, then we cross the Sauer and take a right. If you look at photo 3, you can see that the water in the Sauer is already very high.

We are at Hotel Hauer, where we stay for the Spring weekend.

See the video to get an impression of the surroundings, the images are occasionally unclear, but that is because of the rain that we have had along the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWsDKEeDmzQ
