Icon description route Description

Departure: Sint-Gangulphus Church - village - Oosterzele

Walk in Oosterzele to the Ettingebos, Birth Forest, Lange Broucke, and the Balegem Sandstone Quarry. The area is known for its numerous nurseries, of which we will encounter several.

The "Ledesteen" from the Balegem Sandstone Quarry has been used since Roman times for the construction of houses and public buildings. Today, this stone, along with the Gobertange Stone "White Stone", is still the only quarried natural stone of Belgian origin, which is very important for preserving our cultural heritage.

At about 2/3 of the route, a sanitary stop can be made at café de Steenput with former professional cyclist Rudy Colman. Afterwards, return through the Ettingebos of Issegem.

Saturday, May 3, 2025 by Y.W.The route is out of date. It soon becomes clear that at a turnoff, you can't go into the woods. Not recommended to do.
