Icon description route Description

Park for free at P19 near Sint-Pieter.

Explore Oud-Rekem along the Herenstraat, but be sure to take a detour through the charming "Onder de Linden" and "Oude God" before passing the d'Aspremont-Lynden castle. Then cross the Zuid-Willemsvaart to reach the Maas via country roads. The (limited) stretch of cycling dike can be busy, but surprisingly calm outside the season.

Via Uikhoven (refreshments available!) with the artistic "Grindwolfspin", discover the Maas valley with its legends along field roads offering beautiful views where mistletoe is noticeably present in the giant trees.

Back at the Zuid-Willemsvaart, dive into the Oude Weerd nature reserve with its many types of thorny bushes, donkeys, and a high-stem orchard. Enter the "open-air museum" Oud-Rekem again, passing by the former psychiatric institution which, with the castle garden, forms a beautifully restored park. It's time for a nice terrace.

High hiking boots recommended. Dogs welcome on a leash.
