Description
The arable landscape of Sint-Margriete-Houtem is just out of the grasp of the town of Tienen. This hike takes you through open fields and occasionally you sink a little deeper into a beautiful hollow road. The Genoveva creek rises at the Muizenbeemd farmstead. This is where the village must have originated in the 9th century from a knight's farm. The farm was given the name Houtheem, which meant 'house by the woods'.
