You’ll walk along sunken paths and past wooded slopes while enjoying beautiful views at the northernmost tip of the province. On a clear day, you can see the white-stone tower of the Norbertine Abbey in Averbode in the distance. You’ll also pass a few beautiful farmhouses—do you recognize the rust-brown iron sandstone?—and come by the Schouwbroek, a wetland that was once used as hayfields.
