Icon description route Description

Horst Castle is the starting point for a lovely walk through the fields and natural surroundings of Sint-Pieters-Rode. The history of this moated castle dates back to the 13th century. Even the Red Knight once lived here—at least according to Willy Vandersteen’s comic book series. The carriage house that Lady Maria-Anna van den Tympel had built in the 17th century is now a visitor center and a cozy regional restaurant.

Saturday, September 24, 2022 by Yasmin VdCVery nice hike! Easy parking, almost exclusively nature, forest and fields. Very quiet, everything very well marked. Really enjoyed it with our four-legged friends! Good footwear necessary in wet periods. Highly recommended! But not all go there ;)
