Description
The expansive landscape of Geetbets beckons you to take a delightful walk in the countryside. You’ll follow the car-free bike and walking path along the old Tienen-Diest railroad right-of-way for a while, taking in one beautiful building after another. The highlights are undoubtedly Geetbets Castle, nestled in the countryside, and the St. Rochus Chapel, dating from 1542. You’ll also pass “the old dairy” from 1902 and Vlierbeek Castle, an old abbey farm with an English garden.

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 by Luc WullaertUnfortunately, I cannot join the other positive comments. Always walking with a view...... and along the many urban planning "pearls" with the obligatory solar panels that Flanders is known for. So lots of coteries and solar panels. All in all for me personally a boring hike. PS : I also passed some orchards.

Sunday, April 25, 2021 by Karin van de VenI hike a lot, maybe spoiled by that but can't give 4 stars like my predecessors. Nature/environment little exciting about it, somewhat boring. Last stretch a long straight road with monotonous scenery. Error in node 407 has been corrected.

Sunday, March 7, 2021 by jozef jansVery nice, quiet walk through many fruit orchards.Too bad they are not in bloom today.However, wrong signage at junction 407.Junction 404 is signposted right but should be left.

Sunday, March 7, 2021 by T.G.Very nice hike in many beautiful and open fields (in March anyway)! Finding the castle along the way is indeed a bit careful, and requires a slight deviation from your route. Other than that, we especially liked the silence often.... ! Attention: pole with hiking node 407, with 3 pointers on it, is 180° wrong, so everything is exactly reversed! (reported)

Wednesday, July 29, 2020 by D.G.Very nice walk. The castle does sit behind an orchard and is not directly visible. But if you found it, it's definitely worth going to have a look.
