Description
Be surprised by the hollow roads and the vastness of the village of Opvelp where you'll be following the small meanders of the Velpe. Agriculture has been prevailed here for centuries, of which the extraordinary square farm Berkenhof is a beautiful witness. Along the way you will discover some historical sites such as the Burnt Tower and the Killer Cross, which is fused into a hawthorn. In the second section, please capture the beauty of the nature reserve of Hazeberg.
NOTE: This is a hike on a virtual hiking network. The nodes are not signposted on the property. Follow the 6-sided red and white signs with the name of the hike.
This hike is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Sunday, January 15, 2023 by E.Q.This hike has been changed since September 2022, so previous comments are no longer correct. Beautiful hike through the valley of the Velpe and over the Haspengouw slate plateau. Along the way wide views, 2 square farms and the beautiful nature reserve Hazeberg.

the route starts well. Unfortunately, after /- 2.5 km you have to turn left. You can see that there is a path here, but overgrown with nettles and brambles. After 300-400 m we turned right. No way through.
