Description
Park at Groenstraat 11, near Sint-Michiels Castle in Elzestraat.
You start at the protected village view of the stately castle (restaurant) and go through the park looking for 't Grom. This is a museum built around the themes of vegetables, healthy eating, and horticultural heritage, housed in the Midzeelhoeve at junction 228.
After the longest stretch of public road, you reach the Goorbosbeek valley with the info house De Mosterdpot from Natuurpunt, where you can learn everything about the patchwork of habitats present here.
Via junctions 4 and 5, you can visit (or skip) the Fort of Duffel with its cozy brasserie.
Back at point 2, you continue along the banks of the Nete around the Domaine Roosendael, which with its beautifully restored buildings, nature, and cycling/walking café certainly deserves some extra time. Finally, you return to Elzestraat via the old elevated railway embankment, which now forms a green zone. Here you can take a last drink break.
Dogs are welcome on a leash.
