Icon description route Description

We did this walk on 03/23/2025 (14,342 steps).

The route starts at junction 139, on the hill where the Leyssens mill once stood. Currently, there is an impressive art butterfly. One goes through the Kattenbos and passes by a pond called 'Het Hoefijzer'.

After crossing the N764, one enters the area called Kattenbosserbergen. The walk continues through Dodenveldstraat along the German military cemetery, where more than 38,000 soldiers are buried. More than 38,000 silent witnesses to the madness called war.

The walk continues through the beautiful woods and fields around Ford Lommel Proving Ground. A pleasant piece of nature.

Between junctions 110 and 141, some caution is required. Part of the path was flooded. We chose an alternative route.

In any case, we enjoyed this beautiful walk.
