A junction walk (14 -15 - 604 -117- 603 - 601- 602 -12-14 -15 -16) that combines part of the Winter walk (Heverleebos) and the Freshwater walk. We made the walk counterclockwise.
Along the Maurits Noëstraat (departure) are the ponds of the Zoet Water that were built around 1600 in the Vaalbeek valley. After the Hertsvijver turn left into the Kapellendreef to walking junction 14 and then follow the above-mentioned junctions. We climbed briefly to the Our Lady of Steenbergen baroque chapel from the 17th century (junction 16) then descended back and took the bat path along the ponds and the Castle ven Steenbergen, now Restaurant 'Spaans Dak' and thus reached the CC Roosenberg parking along the Maurits Noëstraat again.
Accessible by public transport:
- From SNCB station Oud-Heverlee to departure is 1.7 km (20 min).
- line 337: Leuven (station) to Oud-Heverlee (Zoet Water)
