Long one, this... The Camperstop book said that the stop near Eupen was remote and that it was at the beginning if some cycle routes. What we got from that was that it was probably quite nice around there. Also the picture showed it was in the woods, so if we needed the loo, we should be able to find somewhere. On the map it was near some water too which was a plus, and on the drive there we'd crossed a little bridge over a small river. After the bridge we star...
