Icon description route Description

The start of this hiking trail is at the Castle of Horst in Sint-Pieters-Rode, a borough of Holsbeek. Among other things, the castle is home to Willy Vandersteen's cartoon character "The Red Knight" and is well preserved. The route runs mainly along meadows and woods. The Hageland boasts a beautiful rolling landscape.

Ironstone is partly responsible for the formation of these hills. Hollow roads, forest paths, short cobblestone stretches and the occasional slight climb characterize this hike. After about 5.5 km of walking you come across the Gempemolen (St. Joris-Winge), a water mill built in the 12th century. This structure also contains a beautiful brasserie where you can stop to quench your thirst and possibly stop your hunger.

A few kilometers further on, after a short "climb" of the Roeselberg in Houwaart, you reach the chapel O.L.V. ter Stokskens where you are treated to a beautiful view. Via the village of Houwaart you return along winding roads towards Horst Castle.
