Icon description route Description

The Hoppe Walk takes you from Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle to Sint-Martens-Bodegem and back. Before 1950, the landscape was still defined by fields with hop poles. Each brewery also used to have its own hop fields. Now there are only a few left in the municipality. Along the way you'll walk past the Girardin Brewery. Here, they still brew Lambic, Kriek and Geuze. In Sint-Martens-Bodegem you can still find one of the last witnesses of the half-timber and loam building in the Pajottenland, the little house Mostinckx. The hike can be shortened to 6.9 km starting at house Mostickx (Dorpsplein 5, Sint-Martens-Bodegem) or to 5.2 km starting at the church of Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle. This hike is signposted with a 6-sided sign with the name Hoppewandeling.

This walk is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Tuesday, June 22, 2021 by J.V.Hike with nice views and beautiful stretches of nature, though unfortunate that it is not maintained with overgrown trails and several damaged signs.

Friday, March 5, 2021 by M.D.Beautiful pieces of nature and beautiful scenery. Only the permanent buzzing of the E40 highway in the background is disturbing, but of course that can't be helped. ~ We did get lost 3 times because the signs are not very clear. Fortunately there is the option to indicate in the app where you are and then you quickly see where you went wrong.

Friday, January 15, 2021 by André MertensSoon the trail will be minimally altered but you will pass 2 hop fields worthy of the hike's name.

Wednesday, September 2, 2020 by willy ThielemansThe signs, Hoppe hike, were missing or damaged. The roads lower there non-maintained. No one cared about this all summer. This hike is still just fine. Still 3.5 stars.

Friday, August 7, 2020 by Arlette VercammenBeautiful, but signposts were missing, so I could not do the hike "correctly". Therefore only 3 stars.
