Description
Parking: Hengelhoefdreef, Houthalen (opposite castle Engelhof)
Signage: Junction points/GPS
You walk through the forests in the Hengelhoef nature area. I found the section along and between the ponds the most beautiful. Nice and mostly quiet walk on well passable paths and a section of boardwalk that needs some maintenance.
This area will become part of the walking junction network but is not yet in the app. (October 2024)
Through this walk you can already make a nice loop.
Rest benches: among others, after 1.8/4.1 (forest chapel) /6 and 7.1 km

Saturday, May 2, 2026 by Koen StevensA section of this route is no longer accessible because the log path—which was in poor condition—has been cleared (along the route from km 1.0 to km 1.4). An alternative for those first 1.4 km is the first 400 meters of the 103-105 section. The junction numbers to follow are therefore: 103-105-107-109-111-110-102-103 (only 6.4 km instead of 7.4 km)
