Description
Your journey through the beautiful Merchtem countryside begins at the small Church of St. John the Baptist in the village of Ossel. Stop for a moment on the Romeinsebaan and enjoy the magnificent view of northern Brussels. On your way back, you’ll pass the Foeksenbos and the Torenhof, a square farmstead that’s classified as a protected monument. At the farm shop, you can buy apples from the nearby orchards. If you’re lucky, you might spot a little owl—Belgium’s smallest owl—flying by during your walk.
Before you set out: This walk is offered by Regionaal Landschap Brabantse Kouters in collaboration with the municipality.

Tuesday, June 30, 2020 by GILBERTE DE BLOCKBeautiful walk in the middle of nature. The hike is not suitable for wheelchair users because there are many stones on the paths. Too bad there's no parking at the church of Ossel, where the starting point is. You can park your car on the main road leading to Wemmel.
