Icon description route Description

This challenging hike takes you past Merchtem’s beautiful natural spots, panoramic views, and historic buildings. It begins right in the heart of the village, at the August De Boeck Museum, located in the composer’s birthplace. The Molenbeek stream leads you deeper into the countryside. Be sure to stop by the Passerel van Pipenpoy’s, an old watermill that has been transformed into a restaurant and bar. Along the way, you can learn about the old apple varieties grown here at the Appelkot.

Monday, May 6, 2024 by Luc JanssensBeautiful and peaceful hike. We had extra luck with an old timer meeting at our starting and ending point. Lots of great hiking trails, beautiful views of the fields.

Sunday, March 28, 2021 by luc maesNice walk with panoramic views, beware : in the beginning at the Delhaize is sign gone, there you have to turn left and not straight on as we did. And also at the end at a crossing you have to turn left into a dirt road, also here the sign with nr 4 is missing.
