Icon description route Description

At the water mill of Brussegem, your tour begins through the beautiful Merchtem landscape. You step past the Foeksenbos and pass the Torenhof, a square farm that is listed as a protected monument. In the farm store you can buy apples from the nearby orchards. If you are lucky, on your walk you might spot a little owl, Belgium's smallest owl, taking flight.

This walk is offered by Regionaal Landschap Brabantse Kouters in collaboration with the municipality.

Tuesday, June 30, 2020 by GILBERTE DE BLOCKBeautiful walk in the middle of nature. The hike is not suitable for wheelchair users because there are many stones on the paths. Too bad there's no parking at the church of Ossel, where the starting point is. You can park your car on the main road leading to Wemmel.
