Icon description route Description

The landscape around Asse and Dilbeek used to be characterized by fields of hop poles, when this region was the most important hop-growing area in Belgium. Now there are only some remnants that remind us of that flourishing hop-growing. You can still spot hop fields here and there, e.g. along the Ternatstraat near Mostinckx House which is now a mini museum with authentic pre-1940 pieces. Along the way, you might come across a hop house (a funnel-shaped chimney in which the hop cones were dried) or the 'artful' hop field in Asse. Although there are still few hops to be seen, beer is still brewed on a large and small scale in the region. Tasting is possible at brewery Timmermans in Itterbeek or brewery Girardin in Dilbeek.

This route runs through the municipalities of Dilbeek, Ternat, Asse and Merchtem.
