Just count the hamlets you pass through—there are five of them. But the best-known village is Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Lombeek, which was a finalist in the “Most Beautiful Village in Flanders” contest as recently as 2008. It was once an important pilgrimage site, and in the 1960s, the Hertboommolen served as the setting for the TV series *Kapitein Zeppos*. You’ll walk through rolling fields and along a few beautiful sunken roads to Rokkenborch Castle, the Gothic Church of Our Lady, and the Hulsbroek Forest.
