Description of the walk

Departure from the Place de Tervuren car park.

(S/E) From the car park, pass between the town hall and the cultural centre. Go under the gate and turn left at the Keizerinnendreef pond.
After about 100 metres, go up Willem Frederikpad and turn right onto Ijskelderpad for about 100 metres, turn left and then right to find yourself in front of the pond opposite the Africa Museum.

(1) Walk down towards the ponds on the right and, in the middle, turn right onto theGR® Dijjeland. At the end of the path, turn left, walk between the two ponds and you will arrive at the Spanish House.

(2) Take the path that goes around the Spanish House on the right and continue along the pond on your left. You will reach a park entrance gate on the right.

(3) Go through the gate, take the road on the right and after a few dozen metres, take Chemin Voerwegske. Continue along this path until you reach a road junction, then cross the road. After about 300 metres, you will come to a bridge on the right.

(4) Cross it and go up Chemin Ferenneke, cross the road and immediately take the small Chemin Perselarenweg (muddy). Pass the cemetery on your left, then a football pitch. Immediately after, turn left onto Chemin Dorreweg until you reach a small crossroads after a copse on your right.

(5) Take Chemin Dorre Dondersteen and walk along the fields at the edge of the forest until you reach the crossroads.

(6) At the crossroads, cross and continue straight ahead until you reach the next road. Turn left and then immediately right onto Route Hertswegenstraat. Continue until you reach the crossroads with Route Zittekensstraat on your right.

(7) Continue along this road and enter the park again. Just after the gate, turn left onto a small path that runs along the wall. Reach the ponds and follow them on the left. At the junction between the two ponds, turn right onto Duisburgdreef and follow the path up towards the broken stones.

(8) Take the Wildezwijnenweg sports path, which leads to Route Warande. Turn right and, after Place d'Armes, you will see the entrance to Place de Tervuren on your right.

(9) Take the street on the left towards Markt, go through the gate and you will find yourself at Place de Tervuren (S/E).

I am from Brussels and know my region well.
However, (re)discovering it through the eyes of a guide is really very enjoyable.
I also took one of my daughters on the walk and she loved it 😊.
Under the autumn sun and the shimmering colours, it was even more beautiful!
A magnificent walk in Tervuren Park, another view of the museum (magnificent!), the ponds, the path along the Voer and then the country lanes before reaching the woods... pure bliss!
Thank you for this lovely walk 😊!
NB: at the weekend, there are more people in the first part.

A superb route that passes through beautiful wooded areas and fields, revealing an unexpected side of the Tervueren ponds.
All of the paths are easily accessible and well maintained, except for a small 400-metre section towards the end of the route (a very narrow path overgrown with brambles and nettles).

A wonderful discovery of the entire area outside Tervuren Park, especially the shaded path along the Voer River.

Great route, beautiful discovery, and well marked. We were even able to do it easily with a dog (kept on a leash in the park but free afterwards). Nice little refreshment bar near Place de Tervuren at the finish. Not too many mountain bikes (a few though), and almost no one except in the park itself.

I didn't follow the route exactly because I wanted a shorter walk and I was familiar with the part in Tervuren Park. Very beautiful along the Voer, starting from Vossem. I recommend it!

Nice walk. A few less interesting sections, but fortunately very few. You do need to watch out for cyclists, who don't always pay much attention to pedestrians.
A wonderful discovery of the countryside, which I knew nothing about.

Very beautiful parish-specific to Brittany hike, but avoid Sundays when the narrow paths are infested with mountain bikes.
One of them knocked me into a hedge, but I wasn't hurt.
