Icon description route Description

Take a walk around the Weerdse fishing pond and along country roads until you reach the meandering Zenne River. Pieter Paul Rubens loved to spend time in this landscape; he lived nearby in his castle in Elewijt. Surrounded by fields and greenery, you’ll arrive at the ruins of the Sluistoren on the Zenne. It is the only remnant of the watermill complex that stood here until the German occupiers decided otherwise in 1914.

Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual walking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the hexagonal red-and-white signs bearing the name of the walk.

Thursday, June 20, 2024 by L.L.Beautiful and quiet walk a few 100m from our residence. One moment you're in the village and a few steps later you're in full nature. This hiking trail is very easy to follow because it is WELL DESCRIBED but then by Tourism Flemish Brabant with the typical hexagonal white signs with inscription : De Weerdse Kronkels.

Monday, January 18, 2021 by HERMAN verheirstraetenThis is what you can expect from a nice hike: well signposted, very passable (sometimes a bit muddy but definitely doable), quiet and beautiful, little village center with beautiful church (and cafe across from it, now unfortunately closed due to corona), and on top of that, train station nearby. Could not be better. Yes, some noise, but that should not be exaggerated.

Thursday, October 22, 2020 by J.D.nice walk along quiet roads , , sorry for the noise from the nearby highway on part of the walk and the train traffic from a rather busy line , but despite that it remains a must see

Friday, November 22, 2019 by sonja Vanderstappenvaried walk. beginning (along ponds) and end (along Zenne) are beautiful and surprising, middle part less so. Weerde has beautiful village center, but always some noise, you're between the E19 and busy train line.
