Along Flemish Roads

Description

Done on 01/04/2026 (13,896 steps)

“Wherever you go along Flemish roads, you encounter Mary.”

At the church of Bergom, a journey begins that weaves together old devotion and quiet nature. In the Hoge Dreef, you take your first steps until the path turns right towards the Lourdes cave of Bergom. It stands there somewhat forlorn, but remains a place where people pause for a moment: walkers, cyclists, and those simply seeking a moment of peace.

Further on, the Varenbroek forest opens like a green breath. Via quiet roads, you reach the Helschot forest and enter the Provincial Green Domain Hertberg. Names like Suikerberg and Rijselberg already whisper what is to come: gentle slopes that give the landscape a playful relief.

Along the way, we looked around in wonder and counted, including the cave, nine depictions of Mary that accompanied us.
