The vineyard terraces on the Houwaartseberg have a southern European flair, and the wineries along your route are happy to share their passion for Hageland wine. You’ll pass through a string of Hageland villages—such as Bekkevoort, Assent, Waanrode, and Molenbeek-Wersbeek—until you reach the Vlooyberg Tower in Tielt-Winge. This imposing, floating staircase made of rust-brown Corten steel offers a stunning panoramic view. Its color is a nod to the iron sandstone in the subsoil—the secret behind Hageland wine.
