Polle Pap Hiking Trail (red route)

Description

Free parking at Sportoase De Lo Lostraat 70A.

The path is an initiative of the local government and the IVAS walking club in collaboration with the mentioned people and entities, and it takes you past some beautiful spots in Heist-op-den-Berg, such as KSK Heist, the historic Hof van Riemen, the Bergbos with the water tower and wine bar Calle Gato, the beautiful hillside at "the golden triangle" with café 't Pleintje, the picturesque Church Square with the old Saint Lambert's church, etc.

Scan the QR codes on the signs (photo 1) so that under the guidance of the voice of the famous Heistenaar Paul Michiels, you discover which stories and fond memories these places evoke in him. Because he used to go on milk rounds in Heist with his father, he gained the nickname Polle Pap. Years later, he became world-famous as a member of the music group Soulsister, who scored several world hits, including "The Way to Your Heart." And his heart is apparently still in Heist.
