Description
'Vilvoorde City, more specifically in the Far-West.' Your tour starts at the working-class neighborhood that singer Kris De Bruyne sang about and follows the Zenne to the Dorent. In this strip of nature reserve on the border with Zemst, you can spot the rare crested newt in the cut-off Zennemeanders, as well as a host of water birds such as the coot, moorhen and mallard. Via the Schoewever, a green buffer between Vilvoorde and Houtem, you'll be able to return to the Far-West.
NOTE: This is a hike on a virtual hiking network. The nodes are not signposted on the property. Follow the 6-sided red and white signs with the name of the hike.The hike is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Sunday, February 16, 2020 by C.V.Yesterday the 15/02/2020 we did the hike from the church normal route once at the Zenne it went wrong broken signs we had read that we had to pass by the Zenne this continued and we arrived in Eppegem and to our surprise we had already walked 5km and the hike was only 7.3 km then we went back and search where we were lost and have not found it unfortunately no more signs I'm sorry I only give 4.50 points.
if the signs are in the right place again we will do the hike again.
many hiking greetings Carl
