Open fields and damp forests—plenty of space and nature on this walk. First, you’ll admire the old rectory, which was a convent in the Middle Ages, then a rectory, and is now a bustling community center. Walking through the fields, you’ll reach the Velaartbos, the green heart of the Birrebeek Valley. Hundreds of years old and teeming with rare spring-blooming plants such as lesser butterfly orchid, wild garlic, wood anemone, and yellow deadnettle. Natuurpunt Meise manages this nature reserve and has established the “Natuurlijk Fit Route” and the “Koesterburenpad” for children.
