You’ll walk from church tower to church tower, from Boortmeerbeek to the boroughs of Hever and then Schiplaken. Along the way, you’ll first cross the railroad tracks, then the Leuvensesteenweg, and finally the Leuven-Dijle Canal—the three straight thoroughfares that cut through the municipality. In between, you’ll discover beautiful natural scenery and charming historic buildings, such as the 17th-century Servaes watermill and the Donkhoeve, which was first mentioned as early as 1696.
