Description
In the Merode, nature and culture go hand in hand. Fathers and princes loved a little greenery, so they laid out BIG BOSSES, LANDERIES and PARKS around their abbeys and castles. Today it is relaxing strolling through the straight forest lanes between Tongerlo and Westerlo. Only the meandering GREEN NETE draws a blue meander through that GREEN LAND.
