Vespa Club TessenderloVespa Club Tessenderlo

Club ride: August 19, 2023

Ride leader: Miranda Kets

We will depart from the main entrance at the Vayamundo Hotel in Houffalize at 10:45 AM for a ride of 95 kilometers in the area with a stop at the Hotton caves.

The area is incredibly beautiful, and we enjoy the winding roads that alternate between large open plains and lead us through tall trees. This latter was more than welcome given the high temperatures we experienced on our Vespas. Halfway through, we were pleasantly surprised to participate in the descent into the Hotton caves with a young guide. Since we arrived there on time, we took a seat on the terrace and had our lunch there. It was a bit of a wait, but the rest was welcome. The descent and the information we received were nice to do and to listen to. After the visit, we continued the Vespa ride and returned along the most beautiful roads to the Hotel.
