A lovely, varied route through woods, parkland and fields. Within a few minutes’ walk, you find yourself in the heart of the countryside. I went for this walk just as the wild hyacinths were in bloom. I saw them in every wood. And particularly in the Bois de Verrewinkel, as I was leaving the huge hill with its fields of dandelions. You can see them very clearly from the path; it’s well worth taking a little detour to the right as it’s magical. Near Linkebeek/Holleken, walking through the fields of bright yellow rapeseed was also magnificent. I then looked online to find out more about all these beautiful nature reserves – it’s fascinating.

A magnificent walk, but the PDF file was missing the "literary" description... So we only had the GPX file to guide us...
Would it be possible for future hikers to add this description?
Apart from this comment, congratulations to those who created the walk!

Half countryside, half forest, the walk is only semi-urban around km 5, along the railway line, and between km 9 and 10 in a residential area on either side of the Ermite crossroads.
