Sunday, September 22, 2024 by Benjamin KeppensA pleasant walk on the third Saturday in September, the river full of duckweed ... and autumn literally in the air as the acorns fall on your head. The September sun still makes itself felt and shade at the beginning of the trail is welcome. Beautiful dry roads, monuments and small villages ...

Friday, March 29, 2024 by M.D.What a beautiful walk along quiet spots in Haacht and Wakkerzeel. The anti-tank ditch and the paths along it were flooded. There we took a detour via the Wilde Heide. So in wet weather, put on bones.
