Description
Park for free in Heist-Goor at the church (alternative: Schriek at the church).
Through quiet streets, field and neighborhood roads (about 30% unpaved), you explore these two rural villages, both part of the municipality of Heist-op-den-Berg. Here and there, you will find additional information on panels of the "resilient villages" campaign.
You pass parks, chapels, grassland, agricultural areas, here and there a residential zone, but also the historic Schriek castle domain, of which only two farms now remain. The main connecting roads are avoided as much as possible, giving you a view of various authentic farms, both old and new. In some places, part of the harvest is still sold on-site through a small shop or more modern vending machines.
You will find hospitality businesses in the village centers. Dogs are welcome on a leash. In wet weather, high hiking boots are necessary.
