Description
Panoramas trump this walk through the countryside around the village of Vollezele, named after the late pastor Aloïs Walgraeve. The views you get from the crest of the hill north of the village center invite you to enjoy them in silence. You walk past fields, meadows and orchards through the region of the Belgian draft horse. On the village square you will find the Museum of the Belgian draft horse that pays tribute to a rich past full of draft horses.
This walk is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Saturday, September 7, 2024 by E.T.My enthusiastic four-legged friend and I enjoyed this hike. The asphalt lanes are calm, the field roads idyllic. Caution: the designation from 624 to 623 is missing. The 623 point should be near Oulstberg Street 12-14. If you get up here, you can already see 628. Currently on the road to 629:large excavators.

Saturday, May 11, 2024 by A.T.Beautiful hike with some altimeters almost immediately. Nice view from the Rensberg road and the Congo mountain. Mainly paved, ideal after a wet period (on sunny days take the nagging of the grass machines :-) ). I extended this hike to about 15 Km with an extension towards Tollembeek via KNP 608 - 643 (along the Mark).

Monday, March 8, 2021 by P.L.Beautiful route, with the most beautiful panoramas the Pajottenland has to offer. Course mostly paved, very small part a bit muddy. Mostly no problem with baby carriage. Lots of free parking near the starting point at the church. Behind the museum at the church is a beautiful picnic area.

Sunday, October 11, 2020 by D.D.Very nice hike. Done on October 11. Varied small traffic-free asphalt lanes with narrow roadways. Most have a gravel or other form of pavement so that even in time of heavy rain it remains passable. Very nice views and lots of nature. Highly recommended. We will do it again
