So close to the city of Leuven and yet so surprisingly rural and green! You will discover the wooded Hageland Hills on this hike. You will step through deep hollow roads and discover the whimsical landscape and beautiful views of the Lindenbos, Chartreuzenbos and their surroundings. In the sloping Chartreuzenbos it is sometimes really climbing or descending towards the Wingevallei. Have a bite to eat in the tavern 'Bed van Napoleon', an old forester's house that the owner converted into a cozy restaurant and where, according to tradition, emperor Napoleon Bonaparte once spent the night.
