"Rosdel," managed by Natuurpunt, is a beautiful stretch of Hoegaarden’s natural landscape near the language border, where vast fields alternate with the deeply carved green valleys of the Schoorbeek and the Nermbeek. And then there are the beautiful sunken roads where you’ll find coolness in the summer and shelter in the winter. The abundance of wild orchids that bloom in June on Rosdel’s dry, calcareous grasslands is unique in Flanders.
Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual hiking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the geometric symbol—a red triangle.
This walk is presented by Tourism Flemish Brabant and Natuurpunt Mene-Velpe. More info: www.natuurpunt.be/natuurgebieden/rosdel
