Icon description route Description

Free parking at Sportoase De Lo, Lostraat 70A.

The path is an initiative of the local government and the hiking club IVAS in cooperation with the owners of the Bergbos, Sportoase De Lo, café 't Pleintje, and Wine Bar Calle Gato. The wheelchair-accessible blue route takes you via (semi-)paved surfaces along a number of beautiful spots in Heist-op-den-Berg, such as KSK Heist, the historic Hof van Riemen, the golden triangle with 't Pleintje, the Heist music academy, and Sportoase De Lo.

Scan the QR codes on the signs (photo 1) so that you can discover, guided by the voice of the famous local Paul Michiels, which stories and pleasant memories these places evoke in him. Because he used to go on milk rounds in Heist with his father, he acquired the nickname Polle Pap. Years later, he became world-famous as a member of the band Soulsister, which scored several global hits, including "The Way to Your Heart". And his heart clearly still lies in Heist.

Low hiking shoes.

Dogs welcome.
