The Hof ten Hout and Sint-Gertrudis farms are impressive. On the farm anchors at Hof ten Hout, you can make out the year 1750. The Sint-Gertrudis farmstead, with its distinctive entrance gate, is more recent. It was built in the 19th century and is surrounded by fields and a standard-tree orchard. Admire both of them during this green walk along field and forest paths in a surprising corner of Sint-Genesius-Rode. From one of the many vantage points, you’ll spot the Lion of Waterloo.
