Description
To the northwest of Tienen, bounded by the Velpe, the Mene and the Kleinbeek, lies Kumtich. Through Kumtich runs railroad line 36, which connects Brussels with Liège. For the construction of this railroad line, the very first railroad tunnel in Belgium was dug in Kumtich in 1837. This tunnel spanned one track. It is precisely this busy rail link between Brussels and Liège that is the thread running through this Railway Walk.
