Icon description route Description

This route takes you through the fertile agricultural area between HOUTVENNE and RAMSEL. A rich harvest was once a reason to thank God for so much prosperity. In case of misfortune there was always a saint to whom one could turn in order to avert further disaster. Between the fields and the meadows in the Merode you will therefore always find a bead of BIG and SMALL CHAPELS.

The rather large track is indeed the big downside (about 800m), but the rest is actually quite cool and ideal for wet weather and for families with children's carriages e.g..

Wednesday, September 1, 2021 by K.S.all on paved roads, along bike lanes/streets (busy even during the week) and even part busy lane. A km or 2 between green areas of garden farms, but still on paved road. Not a single trash can on the entire route to drop off your dog's poop bag. Only plus, the signage is good.
