Description
This hike starts at Lubbeek's St. Martin's Church and passes through reed beds with open water features and humps of feathery sedge that attract many insects and birds. Discover how the springs in the Molenbroek purify the water of the Molenbeek. The hike takes you past Gemp Castle Park and Gellenberg Castle Park and leads you through some ancient hollow roads.
NOTE: This is a hike on a virtual hiking network. The nodes are not signposted in the field. Follow the geometric figure, a red triangle (signposted in both directions).

Sunday, August 15, 2021 by T.G.Very beautiful walk. Lots of silence, forest, open fields. A good part of the paths is paved, but is still between the fields and it is still very quiet. On Sunday with beautiful hiking weather we hardly saw any cyclists. I would skip the last loop where you cross the state highway, a bit too much residential area instead of nature.

I didn't see any signposts for this hike. But I did see a lot of other arrows for other hikes. Fortunately, I had print-outs of the route and the Maps app on hand as a "plan B.
