Last edit: 05-01-2020
This TTT are touring through the Netherlands with the occasional trip to Belgium, Germany or even Luxembourg, which are driven 6 to 7 times a year. The 1st around March and the last around October. These TTTs have a starting point, a pause location and an end point. It is nice to discover what you have not seen in your own country and which nice roads you did not know before.
This TTT is from 2016, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further set the starting point and end point of the route a little further apart to prevent navigation to the end point directly and added the POI files of the start and end point, as well as possible pause location (s).
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MRA Navigation users.
Thanks to ANWB / Promoter.

Europa Monument
You first drive to Verviers, don't worry, then start the party, then the motorcycle holiday feeling comes to mind again. Wonderful hills, beautiful nature and powerful steering roads, with a crack here and there! As stated, you also touch Luxembourg, so you fill up in Luxembourg!
Along the way you can stop at the Musée de la Forêt and des Eaux, this is a top museum about nature, animals and water. Or a little further at the Musée Décembre 1944. The "December 1944" museum faithfully reflects the history and shows visitors one of the most important collections in Europe.
Now that you are in Belgium, you cannot miss a fries, for that you can stop along the route at Friterie Bertrand in Trois-Points. When you enter Belgium from Luxembourg, you can stop at Europa Monument for a photo moment. The monument consists of five erect megalithic stones that symbolized five countries in the then European Community. On the stones are memorial plaques of important Europeans.
Furthermore, in St. Vith, you can stop at Total to stretch your legs and have a drink and for those who have not refueled in Luxembourg, you can do this here as well. In Balen, you can stop at Friterie Le Chalet, if you want to eat a Belgian fries or just to have a drink.
Then it goes via the 3-country point at Vaals via the Epenerbaan, where one of the most beautiful bends in the Netherlands is, to Slenaken.
Because I have driven this route myself, this route gets 5 stars.

Luxembourg
About this region
Luxembourg (French: Luxembourg [lyksɑ̃buʁ] (About this soundlisten); Dutch: Luxemburg [ˈlyksəmˌbʏrx] (About this soundlisten); German: Luxemburg [ˈlʊksəmbʊʁk] (About this soundlisten); Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerg; Walloon: Lussimbork), also called Belgian Luxembourg, is the southernmost province of Wallonia and of Belgium. It borders on the country of Luxembourg to the east, the French departments of Ardennes, Meuse and Meurthe-et-Moselle to the south and southwest, and the Walloon provinces of Namur and Liège to the north. Its capital and largest city is Arlon (Luxembourgish: Arel, Dutch: Aarlen), in the south-east of the province.
It has an area of 4,459 km2 (1,722 sq mi), making it the largest Belgian province. With around 285,000 residents, it is also the least populated province, with a density of 64/km2 (170/sq mi), making it a relatively sparsely settled part of a very densely populated region.
It is significantly larger (70%), but much less populous than the neighbouring Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. About eighty percent of the province is part of the densely wooded Ardennes region. The southernmost region of the province is called Gaume or Belgian Lorraine (main city: Virton).
The Arelerland or Arlon region (in red on the map of arrondissements, below) bordering the neighbouring Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg has the particularity that many of its residents have historically spoken Luxembourgish, a language closely related to German, rather than the French or Walloon spoken elsewhere in the province.
The province was separated from the neighbouring Luxembourg by the Third Partition of Luxembourg, de jure in 1830–31 by the Conference of London dealing with the consequences of the Belgian Revolution of 1830, de facto in 1839, after William I, King of the Netherlands and Grand-Duke of Luxembourg, agreed to its decisions and thus the province was given to the newly created Kingdom of Belgium.

Route collection MRA NAVIGATION GRAND TOUR 2019
MRA NAVIGATION GRAND TOUR 2019 in short:
From 2019, MyRoute-app organizes every year the "MyRoute-app Navigation Grand Tour" exclusively for MyRoute-app Navigation users. During the Grand Tour you drive 4 routes during the calendar year. A few commands are included in each route. Participants who capture all 4 tracks via MyRoute-app Navigation have the chance to win a great prize. In 2019 we had chosen the 2nd World War as the theme for the 4 routes.
The routes and the assignments:
As mentioned, the theme of 2019 was the 2nd World War. A loaded theme, you are confronted with the dual nature of humanity; the willingness to kill for an ideology, we are better than them, cruelty, slaughter, but also heroism and sacrifices, would it ever change? I myself am very interested in world history, I have even studied it for a year at the university and certainly the 1st and 2nd world war have my interest. So it was no task to put together the routes, drive yourself and come up with the assignments.
Have fun driving these beautiful and interesting routes with a loaded theme!

5 tours in Belgium in flat Flanders the hills of the Pays des Collines and the Ardennes
Those who like a winding and hilly course, along many small lanes with little to no traffic, will certainly find what they are looking for in the Pays des Collines, the region east and south of Ronse.
Between Diksmuide and Ypres there are many commemorative monuments of the First World War. In Vinkt in East Flanders, the monument commemorates the massacre that took place in May 1940.
Along rural quiet roads you can taste the history of World War I and II.
Marche-en-Famenne is an excellent starting point to thoroughly explore this plateau, which is cut by rivers and strewn with coniferous forests. The real Ardennes are the most hilly areas of Belgium behind the Meuse. Nature plays an all-important role on this trip.
In addition to the Ardennes, the route with start and end point in Huy also goes through a part of Condroz and Famenne. The Condroz, where wooded hills and valleys alternate, and the Famenne, which makes the transition to the Ardennes plateaus. In the summer it is wonderful motorcycling in the vast forests. You will not only enjoy the natural beauty, but you will also pass numerous castles, wild flowing Ardennes rivers, quiet villages and authentic tourist towns.
The tour from Namur runs through the Meuse area where you discover that the tributaries of the Meuse are of picturesque beauty. You will pass a large number of castles and fortresses. The roads along the Maas are busy arterial roads. But as soon as you can you will look for the smaller roads that are immediately a lot quieter and take us through forests and meadows.
