The walk begins in picturesque Perk. Passing through Sint-Jannekensstraat, with its beautiful 17th-century houses, you’ll walk past the Perk estate. With its graceful turrets, 200 rooms, and a 90-hectare park, Ribaucourt Castle looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. The ancient Hellebos appears on the oldest maps; together with the Steentjesbos, Rotbos, and Snijsselsbos, the Hellebos forms a green strip between Berg, Perk, and Elewijt.
This walk is organized by the Brabantse Kouters Regional Landscape in collaboration with the municipality.
