A challenging hike with some climbing, at the end of which you’ll be rewarded with stunning views. You’ll start at the Church of Our Lady, which houses furnishings and the protected organ from the church of the Klein Begijnhof in Leuven. Along the way, you’ll pass the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, carved into a sunken path. The imposing 11-meter-tall Sacred Heart statue near the Prinsenbos protects you from misfortune.
