Description
The Hermansheuvel is a typical Hageland Diestian hill, a fossilized sandbank that serves as a reminder of when the sea still reached this far. The area was already inhabited during the Stone Age. Archaeological research has unearthed thousands of stones and pottery objects from the Michelsberg culture. Did people back then also enjoy the beautiful view over the Begijnenbeek Valley just as much? Most likely. Your walk alternates between stretches of nature and fields, orchards, and sunken roads.

Friday, April 10, 2026 by Herman Van den ReeckA lovely, varied walk featuring sunken lanes, orchards (low-stemmed), and panoramic views. Much quieter than Limburg during the blossom season, but also less spectacular. It’s best to mark the junctions on the map, as many signs are placed before the actual fork in the road. No places to eat or drink along the way; there are a few benches, but not many.
