Description
Discover the serene atmosphere of the Norbertine Abbey in Averbode. The gatehouse dates back to the 14th century. From here, take a walk through the Averbode Bos en Heide nature reserve, which consists of ponds, heathland, dunes, forests, and grasslands. You’ll also explore the forests of the Mariapark and the Weefberg, where you’ll enjoy a stunning view. A heavenly ice cream at the famous “Lekdreef” is the perfect way to end your walk.

Sunday, July 11, 2021 by A.D.Very nice varied route. Perfectly signposted. Just a pity that on the paths that are only accessible to pedestrians, you sometimes have to jump aside for mountain bikers. Really annoying !

Tuesday, July 21, 2020 by M.Q.Very nice hike, lots of variety. Just unfortunate about the many oaks with processionary caterpillars which made me feel not quite at ease.

Tuesday, June 9, 2020 by R.B.Beautiful route. You encounter almost no buildings except the abbey complex itself and its beautiful store.
The hike consists of 2 loops where in the first loop you mostly walk through the forest. The second loop offers more variety in the landscape.
We also encountered horses with riders and especially mountain bikers in that second part which is also a bit more hilly. Near the central junction 100, which is at the abbey, you have two stalls where they sell ice cream.
