This beautiful nature walk takes you through the Rozendaalbeek Valley. You’ll pass the Sint-Hymelienus Spring, and at the De Gors nature center, you’ll find a public composting toilet. The wildflowers in the grasslands add a splash of color, and with a little luck, you might spot local wildlife such as the curlew, yellowhammer, and stonechat. Be sure to wear boots or sturdy hiking shoes, as the trails can be marshy.
This hike is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant and Natuurpunt Velpe-Mene.
Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual hiking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the wooden post with the yellow ball.
