Icon description route Description

Park for free in the business/shopping center "La Corbeille" on the former site of the canning factory.

Through the center of Westmeerbeek, you pass their "Manneken Pis" and head in search of the Goor-Asbroek nature reserve. It boasts exceptional richness and variety as it lies at the transition from the sandy Kempen to the richer Hageland. In very wet periods, the walk may be inaccessible; at other times, high hiking boots are recommended.

In winter, incredible tranquility hangs within the otherwise bustling surroundings. Spring offers, in addition to other rare plants and animals, a beautiful carpet of spring bloomers such as wood anemone and celandine.

The castle with its park of Hof Ter Borght (20 ha) is located on the Grote Nete and dates back to 1780. In 1831, it served as a command post for our first king, Leopold I.

Catering: café Verdi's (center), brasserie "La Corbeille" pt 332, brewery "Den Hopperd" near the bridge over the Grote Nete.

Dogs on a leash.
