Icon description route Description

Parking: Brugstraat in Vechmaal (at the football field)

Signposting: Orange dot or Virtual Nodes, so GPS or NodeMapp app.

The walk is the orange dot + a loop to the Tumulus of Vechmaal. If you only do the orange loop, you'll walk 5.9 km; with the loop, it's 7.9 km. 1.4 km is unpaved but quite passable and goes mostly through sunken paths and some field paths. With the loop, you'll come across a tumulus from the Gallo-Roman era. Nice walk to do in spring and autumn, in summer it might be sweltering, I think.

Resting benches: at about 0.9 / 1.7 / 2.9 / 3.4 / 7 and 7.6 km.

Points of interest: Waterkuil marl cave (bat sanctuary) and the Tumulus

Catering: Inn De Horne
