Description
As you leave Geetbets, you’ll immediately pass a motte and a watermill on your way into the Aronst Hoek nature reserve. Waterproof shoes or boots will come in handy in this beautiful floodplain area with reed beds, sedge meadows, and willow groves. In the neighboring village of Rummen, you’ll walk through the Warandebos, once the magnificent castle estate of Count Arnold van Rummen, the last Count of Loon. Past the Terlenen castle farm, you’ll catch sight of St. Paul’s Church. The oldest Ginkgo biloba (Japanese nut tree) in Europe stands proudly in the rectory garden.

Friday, June 20, 2025 by L.V.In June '25 it was doable with sandals and the effort.... The start, junction 44, is on Railroad Street. There you can park at the Palace. If you enter Drinkteilstraat as published, follow it in order to get to the center of Geetbets. Where it crosses Steenstraat and Ijzerwegstraat, you will find the pole. That was quite a search!

Tuesday, November 23, 2021 by Kim FransenBeautiful walk through many vast green fields, few paved roads. In rainy season does require good walking shoes. Highly recommended!

Sunday, August 2, 2020 by A.V.Hike had little variety. You hike much of the time between bushes, among other things, so you don't see anything of the surroundings/natural area. You also hike along major roads several times and there is no signpost.
