A walk set to the rhythm of the Hageland, starting and ending at the authentic grain mill De Moedermeule. You’ll walk through a varied landscape of forests, orchards, and fields to the top of the Eikelberg, one of the region’s characteristic Diestian hills. From the top, you’ll enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Gelrode, which stretches out at your feet between two ridges. Children can run around to their heart’s content in the Kloesebos.
