Description
The route starts at St. Godardus Church in the village of Bekkerzeel for a challenging hike along small country roads through a fairly hilly landscape. You’ll pass the Petrus Ascanus Chapel, built in 1891 in honor of Pieter Van der Slachmolen, a native of Asse, who, as a Franciscan friar, was hanged by the Watergeuzen in Den Briel, the Netherlands, in 1572. He was canonized in 1867 along with 18 fellow martyrs. The name Ascanus pops up here and there in Asse.

Friday, January 2, 2026 by Yolanda MarissensBeautiful walk along beautiful vistas. starting point ! ! : church of Bekkerzeel - E40 you hear and see from time to time, but that does not detract from this pleasant hike. Best to wear good walking shoes - now and then some mud.

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 by Peter D'hontWeird - starting point on app is correct, not online via browser. Indeed, the noise from the E40 is very distracting and the road between junction 63 and 234 is narrow with a lot of passing traffic.

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!

Sunday, July 26, 2020 by Laurence DelcourtToo bad about the second half of the hike, the noise from the E40 is quite overpowering. On all the other suggestion hikes, the quiet is just as important a factor.

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.
