Icon description route Description

Walked on 30/12/2025

Parking: Provincial Recreation Domain “De Halve Maan” in Diest.

Distance walked according to GPS: 9.14 km.

Signposting: Route points/GPS/Hiking App.

Walk towards the visitor center for the start of the smallest loop of 3.5 km. This goes entirely through the Webbekomsbroek. After a wet period, definitely wear good waterproof hiking shoes because there are then quite muddy sections.

Once back at point 9, you begin the larger tour and walk towards the recreation domain. The paths are easily accessible up to point 91. This section is also in the small loop, but now you walk in the other direction. A beautiful piece of nature to walk through.

Bench(es): among others at 2.3 km (bench in memory of Guido Reymen) / 3.5 km / 4 km / 6 km and 7.9 km.

Sunday, February 8, 2026 by Kris DehamersPlenty of parking available at the Halve Maan recreation area. You walk around the Webbekomsbroek (a small section through it) and along the ramparts. A few viewing platforms. A short, beautiful walk. Have a drink at the beautiful Begijnhof or in Webbekom. A nice introduction to the wetlands of Diest.
