Description by the author

558 - 552 - 551 - 266 - 267 - 550 - 546 - 545 - 544 - 543 - 555 - 554 - 553 - 552 - 558

Hike over the wooded hills and between the endless fields of Lubbeek and Binkom, bumping into a beautiful castle estate here and there. The apotheosis is the Kalvariebos, with its ring of witches and a crucified Jesus at the top. The children can have fun in the play forest.

NOTE: This is a hike on a virtual hiking network. The nodes are not signposted on the property. Follow the 6-sided red and white signs with the name of the hike.
