Description
Open fields, fruit orchards, groves, and hedgerows, the listed village landscape of Orsmaal, and the Kleine Gete as your guide. This walk takes you to a very rural part of Linter. The history of Het Hof Ten Steen in the heart of Orsmaal dates back to the 13th century, when it was still a fortified castle. In the 18th century, the peace treaty between Austria and the rebellious “Belgian States” was signed here.
Before you set out: The bridge over the Kleine Gete is unstable and will remain closed until March 1, 2026. Follow the detour via 3de Regt Lansiersstraat and Sint-Truidensesteenweg between hiking junctions 115 and 141.

Sunday, July 26, 2020 by Peter WilsDeparture is in Orsmaal. Here there is a lot of history to absorb about the First World War. You can visit the nearby museum after the hike. Along the way there are several information boards at places where fierce battles were fought at the time. But first we move into the fields, among the many fruit orchards. We see cherries, redcurrants, apples and pears. Also, fields of corn and maize. In the distance, here and there, we see a church tower rising above the landscape. Having overcome the gentle hilltop, we reach the banks of the winding Kleine Gete. We stroll back along this quiet hiking path towards Orsmaal.
Assessment: nice varied hike between fields and orchards. We enjoy the views, the quiet surroundings and nature. And at the end we stroll along the banks of the winding Kleine Gete, nice and quiet. Enjoy !
