Last sun­day I went down South again, but due to main­te­nance on the rail­road be­tween Utrecht and 's-Her­to­gen­bosch the sched­ule was a bit off and I had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to take the Eure­gion-Bahn from Heerlen to Aachen, which was a bet­ter con­nec­tion to the Vaals area. The wet­ter was good, the scenery also and I made it to the three­coun­tryspot by walk­ing in Ger­many West­ward to the Ger­man-Bel­gian bor­der and then fol­low that North to­wards The Nether­lands. It's a nice neck of the woods, also for moun­tain-bik­ing, and I'm al­ways sur­prised by how much Ger­man rail­ways look like their scaled down HO ver­sion, just like US cities on Google Earth look ex­act­ly like SimCi­ty 2000.
