On the Heirbaan Walk, you’ll stroll along roads that were built by the Romans. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the sweeping views of the Velpe Valley. You’ll walk through the Hulsbos and past the magnificent Château de l’Escaille Attenrode. A procession still passes by the Heinskensberg Chapel every year. That rust-brown little house surrounded by a walnut tree? That’s not a chapel but a fruit-themed work of art by Hagelander artist Wilfried De Cock. It symbolizes fruit growers as family people, deeply connected to nature, fruit growing, and the landscape.
Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual hiking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the hexagonal red-and-white signs bearing the name of the walk.
