Description
Depart at the St. Godardus Church of the village of Bekkerzeel for a brisk hike on small field roads through quite a hilly landscape. The hike leads you to the 1891 Petrus Ascanus Chapel, built in honor of Assen resident Pieter Van der Slachmolen, who, as the Franciscan friar Petrus Ascanus, was hanged by the Sea Beggars in Den Briel, Holland, in 1572. The man was canonized in 1867 along with 18 peers. The name Ascanus pops up here and there in Asse.This walk is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Monday, July 11, 2022 by Canters FrankFirst 2/3 of the hike is beautiful and takes you through a rather undisturbed landscape with lots of views. From 7,5 km. back to the start along an asphalt road (3 km) with traffic and the noise of the E40 highway. This somewhat detracts from the experience... The starting address is not correct: it takes you to the church of Kobbegem!

Sunday, June 6, 2021 by Hilde VdVPleasant with winding narrow paths interspersed with fairly quiet asphalt roads. Because there had been and heavy downpour 2 days ago, there were muddy sections here and there and long grass stalks/netles on our way. Occasionally some mountain bikers indeed but that keeps us alert.

Friday, January 8, 2021 by A.V.Beautiful route that for a part runs flush with a mountain bike route and you can tell by the trails. On a wet day like today it is really slogging through the mud.

Monday, October 26, 2020 by J.D.nice walk for those who love nature , the noise of the E40 you take but to compensate , we did the walk after a few rainy days and there were some very muddy parts , I would say it is still a must

Tuesday, August 11, 2020 by K.S.Beautiful hike. Indeed some noise from E 40, but that is more than made up for by the other trails. Still highly recommended I think!

Saturday, June 6, 2020 by Luk WillemsWonderful hike through a sparsely built-up area and beautiful nature, with one drawback: a long stretch close to the E40 (noise). Could be improved for detail.
