Icon description route Description

We did this walk on 26/11/2025 (12,248 steps).

This looped route through the Hageland takes you along quiet hollow roads and open heights with panoramic views. From Assent, you walk through rolling fields and orchards, where the landscape unfolds differently each time.

Along the way, you encounter chapels, a Lourdes grotto, and the peace tree of Assent, silent witnesses of faith and memory. The paths are partly paved, partly low-traffic, and carry you in a rhythm of simplicity and peace. In clear weather, the Basilica of Scherpenheuvel appears in the distance, like a beacon above the horizon.

Thus, each step becomes an invitation to see, to feel, and to let yourself be carried by the road itself: a walk that brings together nature, silence, and history in a day of beauty.
