Icon description route Description

The Gravenbos walk starts at the Lourdes grotto built in 1952 by 12 members of the KAJ youth movement. Monsignor Cardijn came to inaugurate the grotto in 1954. People still come there to contemplate or pray in peace. Stroll past the Castle of the Counts, grand, ornate and surrounded by water and an 80-acre estate. The Gravenbos surrounding the castle is a protected nature reserve with a population of crested newts important to the region.

NOTE: This is a walk on a virtual walking network. The nodes are not signposted on the site.

Monday, February 1, 2021 by Raf HinderdaelThis hike is not signposted at all (neither nodes nor separate signs). Based on the expressed plan, it is a quest. On top of that, a large part runs along busy lanes. Absolutely not recommended.

Thursday, January 14, 2021 by C.T.If it has rained days before, it is best to put on "groin boots. Some sections are barely passable/wadeable in deep mud and no way to swerve or grab onto something. Some sections, in my opinion, have to dry for weeks to be passable. Route is very beautiful and in dry weather definitely recommended.
