Description
The starting point on the station square sets you on your way. Soon you cross the Gete and dive past the motte hill and water mill into the Aronst Hoek nature reserve. It is a beautiful flood plain where nature reigns in the form of reed beds, sedge fields and willow groves. In the neighboring village of Rummen, you pass through the Warandebos, the last remnant of the magnificent castle estate of Arnold van Rummen, the last Count of Loon. Via Terlenen castle farm - rebuilt in 1820 after being destroyed - you get to see St. Paul's Church. The oldest Ginkgo biloba (or Japanese walnut tree) in Europe stands there in the garden of the presbytery.

Tuesday, November 23, 2021 by Kim FransenBeautiful walk through many vast green fields, few paved roads. In rainy season does require good walking shoes. Highly recommended!

Sunday, August 2, 2020 by A.V.Hike had little variety. You hike much of the time between bushes, among other things, so you don't see anything of the surroundings/natural area. You also hike along major roads several times and there is no signpost.
