Icon description route Description

Departure: Saint Boniface Church - Munte Square - Munte

In this quaint little church lie the relics of Saint Apollonia, the patron saint against toothache. There is also a small exhibition about Marc Sleen, with clay figurines of the comic characters and many clay waffles. Marc Sleen's brother was the pastor here, hence.

Additionally, there are about twenty miniatures of the old, vanished cafés of the village. In 2026, I visited the church again, and almost all the miniatures and clay waffles were gone or stolen. A pity.

The walk itself starts towards the woods. A quiet environment with many boardwalks - I suppose it is very marshy during a wet rainy season. The Marcel van Miegroet Avenue is one long boardwalk. Then onwards to the Nerenbos and the Gentbos.

Afterwards, back through the fields via the small but cozy village center of Bottelare.

Sunday, March 29, 2026 by Veva DacquinA really lovely walk; I hadn’t known the villages of Bottelaere and Munte before, so I was pleasantly surprised by this hike. It was a bit muddy in the woods (it had rained a bit over the last few days), but not a problem with the right footwear.

Monday, June 9, 2025 by Sandra De wolfBeautiful varied hike. Forests and fields. Often along slow roads. We were surprised by the rural character and the authentic villages of Munte and Bottelare.
