As you leave Geetbets, you’ll immediately pass a motte and a watermill on your way into the Aronst Hoek nature reserve. Waterproof shoes or boots will come in handy in this beautiful floodplain area with reed beds, sedge meadows, and willow groves. In the neighboring village of Rummen, you’ll walk through the Warandebos, once the magnificent castle estate of Count Arnold van Rummen, the last Count of Loon. Past the Terlenen castle farm, you’ll catch sight of St. Paul’s Church. The oldest Ginkgo biloba (Japanese nut tree) in Europe stands proudly in the rectory garden.
