Icon description route Description

Just in the shadow of the Tienen Sugar Factory, you’ll find the ruins of the Paterskerk. The country’s second-oldest beguinage church was destroyed by fire in 1976. From here, you can walk into the countryside toward Bost and Goetsenhoven. Admire the elegant Ast Castle and step inside the Chapel of Our Lady of the Stone. A quick prayer here is said to relieve headaches, nervous disorders, and all sorts of ailments.

Before you set out:
This is a walk on a virtual walking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the hexagonal red-and-white signs bearing the name of the walk.

Friday, December 29, 2023 by T.N.After getting stuck with the GPS in the center of Tienen, we parked at Lidl. We walked up to the church where we didn't see the signs. We did see signs of 2 other short walks. We decided to do the Women's walk. A little later we passed the ruins of what used to be a church. Apparently that's where the hike started.
