Depart at the cultural center of Asse housed on the protected site of the Oud Gasthuis, the former Onze-Lieve-Vrouwgasthuis. The walk takes you past Waalborrep Park with exceptional trees, Petrus Ascanus Chapel from 1891 and an artistic hop field. The hop field was created in 2010 as an ode and reminder of the glory years of hop growing, special is the artwork of Peter Schoutsen. The many terraces on Asse's market square look enticing under the watchful eye of the Hopduvel. The bronze statue symbolizes the storm wind that raged over the fields at the end of August and damaged the hop vines.
