Description
The Castle of Horst is the base for a beautiful walk through the fields and nature of Sint-Pieters-Rode. The history of the moated castle dates back to the 13th century. Even the Red Knight lived here, at least according to Willy Vandersteen's cartoon series. Surrounding the castle is a beautiful castle domain owned by the Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos. In the Wagenhuis you will find the visitor center with heritage store and a cozy regional restaurant.
This walk is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Saturday, September 24, 2022 by Yasmin VdCVery nice hike! Easy parking, almost exclusively nature, forest and fields. Very quiet, everything very well marked. Really enjoyed it with our four-legged friends! Good footwear necessary in wet periods. Highly recommended! But not all go there ;)
