Take a short break at the ‘t Vossenhol playground and picnic area before walking through the Eikenbos and the Rotte Gaten nature reserve. End your walk at the stately rectory, built on behalf of Affligem Abbey.

Friday, September 24, 2021 by Eric RoliesWe don't quite understand the up and coming positive responses to this hike. Start and end of the hike along busy lanes and residential areas. Along the way we passed many neighbourhood roads but those are not used ? In between there are indeed nice stretches with nice views.
