Fan out along the Leuven - Dijle canal, the second canal dug in Belgium.

Wednesday, January 8, 2025 by R.V.Beautiful route that is about half on unpaved roads. Often between the fields but that sometimes provides wide views. Even in a wet period this walk is just doable. The low planes are typical for the region.

Sunday, December 26, 2021 by K.D.At no place is there a sign! Even at the church of Relst, where the hike starts, there's nothing.
The hike is something for when it hasn't rained for a long time because the small roads and field trails are far too wet in the winter and broken up by tractors and mountain bikers.
