Signage: NodeMapp app / GPS

The majority goes over quiet paved roads, only the two sections along the Luikersteenweg / Hasseltsesteenweg are busy. After 4 km, you enter the Nietelbroeken nature reserve. The word 'broeken' already suggests that it is a wet area, so waterproof footwear is a must. After crossing the Hasseltsesteenweg, continue 600 m and turn right into the neighborhood path 'Kortessem 14'. There are very muddy stretches here. We had to deviate slightly and walked to the right of the hedge through the field to the next opening in the hedge.

Rest benches: e.g., at 3.2 km.

Sightseeing: 'The Guardian of the Forest' (wooden sculpture a bit past the Nietelbroeken parking).
