Icon description route Description

Departure: NMBS station Essene-Lombeek

We depart along railway line 50, where the local trains leisurely pass between Ghent and Brussels. From there, we walk via the natural cemetery of Sint-Katherina-Lombeek further along railway line 50A, where the fast trains rush between Ostend and Brussels.

Then we head through vast fields towards the Liedekerke Forest. In this forest, there are two playgrounds, which can make it a bit less quiet during school holidays.

Eventually, we return to the inhabited world via the Ommegang OLV Ter Muilen, a charming procession with small triangular chapels.

Keep in mind that several paths can be quite muddy in wet weather. There are plenty of rest points and picnic areas provided along the way, but no hospitality services are available.

Parking at the station is not easy on weekdays. Cars can also be parked at the cemetery, from where you can depart.
