Description
From the center of Leefdaal you climb out of the valley of the Voer, onto the Brabant loam plateau. You overlook a beautiful, gently sloping patchwork of fields, woods, meadows and wooded banks. On fine days you can even see Leuven. Here and there you dive into a hollow road. At the end of your hike you pass by the Saint-Verona chapel, worth stopping for. Afterwards the Voer takes you back to the center of Leefdaal.

Sunday, February 26, 2023 by W.N.Beautiful hike indeed. Beautiful views. Definitely recommended. On a cold day around freezing like today, the cold wind blows across the plateau. Not really pleasant. So choose your day ;-).

Sunday, September 19, 2021 by M.M.Very nice walk with variety! Beautiful vistas, along a stream with enormous toads, between meadows with horses, farms, starting in a cozy village center. No opportunity to have a drink/snack afterwards, though.

Sunday, July 25, 2021 by H.D.Wonderful hike along beautiful field and hollow roads. Even on a Sunday afternoon few people on this route. The last 5km were new to me, even though we know this area well. Highly recommended !

Tuesday, October 20, 2020 by V.W.We did this hike on a Sunday. There is a lot of mountain biking on the trail which was really annoying at times. Also, up to 3 times cross bikes came along .... The hike itself is along unpaved, wide roads, rarely a hiking trail. There are some beautiful sections and vistas we enjoyed though.

Sunday, August 16, 2020 by I.C.A very nice walk along several hollow roads, with here and there a hidden bunker. Beautiful views and varied walks through fields or along forest edges. Very worthwhile!
