Walked on 20/1/2026

Parking: NMBS Zichem Ernest Claesstraat.

Walked distance according to GPS: 9.47 km.

Signage: GPS/Hiking App.

Start towards knp61, then to Hoornblaas, still 200 m paved to switch to unpaved. Initially, the plan was to turn right at Limietbeek, but this section is completely overgrown, so turn left to return to Hoornblaas and walk 800 m along this road.

Then follows a beautiful section in “nature reserve Catselt”. Then 3 km paved through Averbode. Afterwards, you encounter another unpaved section and cross some beautiful little bridges (including Vlinder bridge, Floere bridge).

You end with a piece of “Demerbroeken”, the last section along the Hulpe was muddy. All in all, a nice walk.

Rest bench(es): e.g., at 2.8/3.6 and 8.8 km.

Sightseeing: Huize Ernest Claes.
