The route is signposted with thematic signs (no nodes). You can use a GPS device or our app to follow the route through the virtual nodes.
Description
Take a walk from Sint-Martens-Bodegem to Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle and back, through a landscape that, before 1950, was still dominated by fields of hop poles. Back then, every brewery had its own hop fields. At Huisje Mostinckx, you can relive those glory days of hop cultivation; the small building, constructed in authentic half-timbered and adobe style, is a charming regional museum. You’ll pass by the Girardin lambic brewery, which has been run by the Girardin family since 1882.
Before you set out: Follow the virtual waypoints or the hexagonal signs labeled “Hoppewandeling.” You can shorten the walk to 8.6 km or 4.8 km.

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.

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.
