From the historic buildings of the Dorpskring, in the center of Lubbeek, you’ll walk into the rolling Hageland countryside. You’ll pass through sunken roads, sweeping farmlands, and fields flanked by forests on your way to the hamlet of Heide, which used to be called Werveldt. The imposing Herendaelhof has stood in this landscape since 1698; it is still an active farm with horse stables.
Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual hiking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the hexagonal red-and-white signs bearing the name of the walk.
