Icon description route Description

The little St. Joseph Chapel near Horst Castle is said to be the most photographed chapel in Flanders. And you can see why right away: it stands in the middle of the fields under a centuries-old linden tree. This walk has even more beauty in store: Horst Castle itself, of course, the beech-lined avenues of the Troostemberg Forest, sunken roads, the Thunenhoeve, and the centuries-old Gempemolen—now a charming brasserie. Along the way, you’ll be treated to beautiful views of the Winge Valley.

Thursday, August 6, 2020 by D.G.Beautiful route with lots of variation (forest, hollow roads, views). The only downside was that the Gempemolen looked a bit neglected and Horst castle is rather dilapidated. Plus point is that at the Gempemolen you have a terrace where you can picnic.

Saturday, June 13, 2020 by Herman Van den ReeckVirtually no asphalt, but small roads through fields with numerous flowers and cereals and even flax, past a water mill (Gempemolen) and along an old forest (Troostenbergbos), plus the backdrop of Horst Castle. Fantastically beautiful.
