Mont Rouge from Loker
A pleasant short hike near Loker and Le Mont Rouge, with easy-to-use numbered markings.
Around and on Mont Rouge
A long, slightly winding route to enjoy the beautiful Belgian trails, which are well maintained and clearly marked.
Simple signposting: there are posts with numbers and an arrow indicating the number you want to go to (not easy to explain but obvious when you're there).
Difficult route, even very difficult in wet weather.
Roller coaster and maze on the Monts de Flandre
This is a route on which I had fun concentrating as many difficulties as possible (more than 400 m of elevation gain). This gives it a somewhat labyrinthine feel, but it allows you to avoid tarmac as much as possible. So you walk from peak to peak on well-marked, clean paths. The use ofthe Visorando app is highly recommended, even though the numbering system is very practical.
Scherpenberg and Rodeberg, mid-season route
When the weather becomes a little wetter, you can still hike on Mont Rouge.
This route alternates between small roads (with little traffic), paths and forest trails, which makes it a little less strenuous.
It is a winding route, so the app is very useful.
There is quite a bit of elevation gain and, in wet weather, the trails are quite slippery. The walk is therefore quite tiring (equivalent to a 25 km route).
