Description
Before you leave, take a moment to enjoy the beautiful courtyard of Averbode Abbey.
Walk straight through the Averbode Bos and Heide nature reserve to the toothache chapel. Thanks to the chapel's location near ven Nooitgedacht and the Eikenboschven, this is one of the most beautiful spots in the area.
A few kilometers further on you come to the Klompenmuseum via another fen, the Langven.
On the other side of the Herseltsesteenweg another piece of Averbode Forest and Heath awaits. Here too you pass some beautiful fens. Via the wooded lane you return to your
starting point.
Want to end in beauty? Visit the Abbey store and the Abbey café of the experience center Het Moment. Enjoy all the goodies from the region.

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 by J.V.Wonderful hike! Quiet too, despite being a popular area. Lots of different, vast landscapes and beautiful views everywhere. Mostly on forest trails, which can be boggy so good footwear recommended. At about 5-6 km there is a bistro. We did not find the road to point 251 so we skipped it.
