The Church of Our Lady in Tielt overlooks the village from a small hill. This is your starting point for a fairly challenging but absolutely beautiful hike to the vineyards of the Houwaartseberg. Take a seat on the vineyard bench to catch your breath after the climb and enjoy a stunning view of the valley. But first, you’ll need to make your way through the Walenbos, a very water-rich forest in the Grote Motte valley.
