Description by the author

Suggestion route on the walking network Hagelandse Heuvels and Valleys.

The junctions of this walk are not signposted on the ground, walk with the walking junction app or follow the thematic hexagonal signs.

Try to count the trees of the numerous orchards on this walk.

Visit the Our Lady of the Birth Church of Kapellen.

Pepijn van Landen is regarded as the founder of this church which was built as a counterweight to the temple of the Roman goddess of Love on the eponymous Venusberg.

Enjoy the beauty of the Valley of the Steenbeek, a beautiful piece of nature.

This walk is definitely recommended during the blossom period.
