Monday, May 29, 2023 by D.R.Didn't see much of the charming villages. Most of this route along concrete roads between fields. Very monotonous.

Sunday, May 28, 2023 by M.D.Hiked with bright sunshine which also made the unpaved roads easily walkable. Nice variation between paved roads and rural areas. Best to park at De Kaaihoeve to start from there. Known walking route so you meet quite a few people. Nice to have a chat!

Monday, January 17, 2022 by Marc VervaetThe hike itself was beautiful in terms of scenery and very quiet on Sunday morning. We left with rain until almost halfway.... This resulted in very muddy passages (between 89 and 93 along the castle, also for MTBers and between 92 and 99). On drier and sunnier days this is highly recommended.

Friday, July 23, 2021 by K.B.Starting point 96 difficult to find. Not located along the road, but in the forest. Started from point 95, due to large parking lot at Provincial Educational Center "De Kaaihoeve". Many unpaved paths are overgrown with nettles and difficult to traverse.

Friday, July 10, 2020 by Christian LamontNice hike, first half better than the last. In places the trails are a bit overgrown, but still passable.
