Oomberg Forests and the Valley of the Cotthembeek

Description

This varied walking loop leads through forests and rural roads in a lesser-known hiking area between Zottegem and Sint-Lievens-Houtem, on the edge of the Flemish Ardennes.

The loop lies between two rather busy roads, yet one usually experiences a remarkable silence. It is best to start at walking junction 11, where there is a small parking lot (5 spots with 2 electric charging stations). You can also easily park along the provincial road Zottegem-Aalst.

Except for a slight incline between junctions 65 and 74, the walk is almost flat. Please take into account some muddy stretches after rain or in wet weather. As always, good footwear is recommended.
