Description
We did this first walk of the year on 01/02/2026 (12,274 steps).
Between Turnhout, Vosselaar and Beerse, along the Dessel-Schoten canal, lies a strip of greenery. We hadn't gone for a walk there yet. Today we did. It turned into a surprisingly beautiful walk. It is well marked with junction points.
We parked the car in Stoktsestraat in Turnhout and walked the loop clockwise.
Highlights include:
* Beautiful nature
* Lourdes Grotto Sint-Jozefcollege
* View of the rear facade of Villa Den Oude Barreel
* The Looypaal: a three-municipality border post (Turnhout, Vosselaar, Beerse)
* The former rectory Het Hof, with moated domain and adjacent park forest, forms an important witness to the religious past of both Vosselaar and Beerse.
* Stately houses in Vosselaar
* The Dessel-Schoten canal with the Wienerberger brick factory across the way
