Saturday, February 20, 2021 by E.V.Disappointing. Lots of forest, little Ad and definitely too many long monotonous roads.

Sunday, November 15, 2020 by K.S.Nice hike if you like a lot of forest. You are among the trees the entire hike which was a bit boring at times.

Tuesday, June 2, 2020 by Jonathan VannesteNice long hike through the woods of Heverlee. The hike is almost entirely on unpaved roads and mostly in the forest, which can provide the necessary cooling on hot days. We hiked about 6-7h, including a short lunch break.

Except for the long distance, the hike is definitely doable given the favorable elevation profile. The cooling of the trees also makes it very pleasant.

All junctions are well marked and easy to find.

Summary: Highly recommended for those looking for a long walk through the woods!
