Icon description route Description

The Demer and Dijle hike is a very varied hike. Starting at 'De Plas van Rotselaar' it is a succession of small paths and rustic roads. About half of it is traffic free, which makes it a lovely walk in and around the center of Rotselaar. Once you arrive in the picturesque village center of Wakkerzeel, you follow field paths along meadows and fields towards Werchter. Here lies the origin of the hike's name, as the confluence of Demer and Dijle takes place here. On the way back to De Plas you follow the Demer dike and pass the Demer place with the height path between the tops of old oaks.

This walk is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Monday, May 24, 2021 by A.H.Beautiful hike, very well signposted. luckily we had chosen the "right" side for the towpath along the Demer (first took the signposted side, far too crowded by fast cyclists). You do miss the rest point at the Demer.

Sunday, May 2, 2021 by J.W.Beautiful hiking trail. Good mix of hiking trails. Better to replace the last part on the towpath by walking on the other side of the Demer. This way you are not bothered by the many cyclists.

Wednesday, January 27, 2021 by F.V.Was a bit disappointing. Especially that much too long stretch along the Demer on a too narrow paved towpath. Good for the many cyclists, not so much for walkers, and fairly unsafe for that reason.

Monday, June 1, 2020 by K.V.Beautiful hike. But less suitable in summer because a whole part is in flat sun. Little shade therefore.
