Take a walk through the wooded hills and across the endless fields of Lubbeek and Binkom. Here and there, you’ll come across a beautiful castle estate or a picturesque little chapel. The highlight is the Kalvariebos, with its “witches’ circle” of beech trees and a crucified Jesus at the top. At the edge of the forest, children can let off steam in the play area, complete with fun climbing structures and fairy-tale characters. The forest is a remnant of the Cieffeltebos, which once covered 300 ha.
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.
