Description
During this walk you will explore the neighborhood of Hestergem that begins at Kapellebaan and runs to Lebbeke. It was named after the Frankish settlement Haistharingaheim. You start at the Hof ten Hemelrijk, the meeting place of Opwijk, which has been converted into a recreational park with an amphitheater, playground and standard orchard. Along the way you walk past the Affligem brewery and follow a section of the Leirekensroute on the disused railroad line Aalst - Londerzeel.

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 by Chris De BockSuitable walk for when it has rained. Variety of streets and small roads. To a limited extent along a slightly larger road, but we were not bothered by traffic (it was a holiday though). Good to get some fresh air if you don't live too far away.

Friday, June 19, 2020 by G.D.Walked up to #77 and then lost pointers. Till there always walked between houses, not in nature, sorry. There was not much traffic, but we like to walk in nature, a small path between two gardens, you could hardly pass, because of the hedge that grew over it.
