Icon description route Description

Park your car for free at Station Spoor parking or come by train.

You start at the authentic ice rink (1972) and shortly after pass the modern cultural center and library. You cross the Bergstraat (market on Monday morning) with its handsome Villa Monte hotel, just before entering the area of the renowned "voddemèt" (Sunday from 8 am to 1 pm). In good weather, it can be crowded here, but it offers a unique atmosphere for which people come from afar!

Via a staircase, you ascend to the historic Church Square and descend to the "Gouden Kruispunt" with the cafes 't Pleintje, 't Hoekske, Den Hosp, de Ketel ...

Via the music academy and Hof van Riemen, you search for a unique gem in Belgium: the Hnita Jazz Club (1955).

Further on, the green/rural map is highlighted with the Nete Valley, the Berg Forest with water tower + Wine Bar Calle Gato, green domain De Averegten (+100 ha), ...!

High hiking shoes. Dogs welcome on a leash. Regular hospitality. Culture + nature
