Beautiful walk around Membruggen, a lot of variety: sunken roads, forests, and fields with beautiful views. The nature reserve De Molenbeemd is definitely worth it, a beautiful piece of nature now that everything is in full bloom. Along the section of the Molenbeek, there are many fallen trees due to recent storms, but you can pass through easily. When you enter the Grootbos nature domain, it is quite a climb: about 40 meters of elevation. Once out of the forest, it continues 600 m through the grass to the Wine Castle of Genoels-Elderen.

Rest bench(es): e.g., at 0.7/3.6/4.5 and 5.6 km.

Sights: Wine Castle of Genoels-Elderen.
