Icon description route Description

Departure: St. Boniface Church - Munte Square - Munte

In this charming little church lie the relics of Saint Apollonia, patron saint against toothache. There is also a small exhibition about Marc Sleen, with clay figurines of the comic characters and many clay waffles.

Additionally, there are miniatures of the old, vanished cafes from the village (and there were many!). Marc Sleen's brother was the pastor here, hence why.

The walk itself heads towards the woods. A quiet environment with many boardwalks - I assume it's very marshy during a rainy season. Marcel van Miegroetdreef is one long boardwalk. Then further on to Nerenbos and Gentbos.

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

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.
