OpenStreetMap survey map
I always take pictures of areas I walk or cycle, which is very helpful for upating OpenStreetMap. Here’s a summary of the current surveys in the forest.
The most concentrated area is probably near Bambësch, a forest located North of Luxembourg City which is almost on my way to work and is worth a detour from spring to autumn a few times a week:
I still have hundred of ways to visit, fix or update in the eastern part of the forest; which will make my detours longer soon.
The good thing is that each time I go out, I have fewer waypoints to check; last year for each waypoint checked, I added five new points. Sometime I forget to remove points from my waypoint list which make me revisit area already visited :). Also, I added some ways and points tagged with fixme or weird values to my to visit-list.
Over the last year, I’ve been walking and cycling thousands of kilometers; I should check my GPS logs to get the real figure.
This last picture shows area I’ve been exploring near Luxembourg City.

Cycling with Yuko
Here’s the improvised tour: 15.7 km
We decided to make it shorter when rain was a threat. Fortunately, we missed the heavy thunderstorm showers.
Yuko is now ready for a triathlon!
PS: good bye Egle!

Had a guest from CouchSurfing interested in discovering the country on a bicycle, so we went to Echternach and Wasserbillig for a day trip on a bike.

Cycling trip of the week
So, how about posting some news about what’s new on my home page? Let’s do it!
Here’s the description of today (yesterday)’s bicycle trip: Luxembourg – Schengen – Rodemack.
About 80 km long, this bicycle trip brings you from Luxembourg City to the well known village of Schengen along the SaarLorLux veloroute, then comes a very quick trip in Germany before heading into France along the Moselle River.
Some pictures can be found on this gallery page.
Cycling tour
In August, I made a round trip bicycle trip between Luxembourg and Strasbourg. Here’s the map.
