Brabant flamand walks

This walk is suitable for Nordic walking. Huldenberg is a municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, not far from the linguistic border. The region is known for its table grape cultivation and the De Doode Bemde nature reserve. Doode means 'dead' (soil unsuitable for agriculture) and Bemde means 'wet meadow'.

This walk passes through Tervuren Park and then follows the Voer river with theGR® Dijeland to discover the hinterland through the fields.

A lovely little walk around the enchanting Sept Fontaines ponds between Rhode-Saint-Genèse and Braine l'Alleud. It also takes you off the beaten track through the surrounding countryside and forests.

A very beautiful and varied route, set against the backdrop of the Sonian Forest.

A 5 km circular route, largely shaded, in and around the pretty and very peaceful Kwadebeek Valley (which is a ‘natuurpunt’ in Rhode-Saint-Genèse). No traffic noise (what a joy!) but plenty of birdsong in spring.

A 24 km circular between wide forest paths and more technical sections. In short, two hours of pure joy in the heart of nature!  The route starts at the town hall in Hoeilaart and passes through Groenendaal. It is very well marked with the blue mountain bike logo.

On the itinerary: Asse Ter Heide, Leibeek, Kravaalbos, Kleigat, Herenbos, Meisberg and Meldert. The Kravaalbos, one of the oldest woodlands in the region, will immerse us in a wild atmosphere with its ancient oaks and sunken paths. Once vast, this forest was already used as a hunting ground in the Middle Ages. All along the route, several streams wind through valleys rich in biodiversity, amidst ferns, mosses, willows and alders. The region’s gentle terrain conceals a geological history dating back millions of years, comprising clay, silt and sand. Set amongst woods, the Flemish countryside, old farmhouses and sunken lanes, this walk promises nature, tranquillity and beautiful views.

A flat route along the canal to Fauquez. Then the terrain becomes hilly with a steep climb at Charly-des-bois through the Bois de la Houssière. Then the descent begins towards Tubize town centre, and the route remains flat until the return.

Hiking between legends and secret valleys in the Hageland. Sint-Pieters-Rode is a peaceful village at the gateway to the Hageland with paths steeped in history. Why is hiking magical? Because it has a varied geography, unique geology, rich flora and fauna, and legends everywhere. It is an immersion in nature, history and imagination.

The Heverleebos is mainly planted with majestic beech and pine trees and criss-crossed by magnificent avenues. A few winding paths break up the sometimes overly linear appearance of this forest area.
