The best MTB trails around Lincent

nice spot to rest on the benches

The description is very accurate. Thank you.

A more recent chapel about which no interesting information can be found online. It is located diagonally across the access road to the historically important castle farm, Ferme Warnant, see https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7635987

Orp station, with telegraphic code ORP, was a railway station in Orp-le-Grand from 15 October 1865 to 4 October 1959 for passengers and until 20 October 1981 for goods, since 1977 a sub-municipality of Orp-Jauche in Walloon Brabant on railway line 147 (Landen - Tamines). https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_Orp Be sure to also take a look at the area around the station where the railway facilitated an industrial activity that is now a thing of the past. At the front there is a car park and on the other side of the road you can see a small "castle", the castle of Tongerlo. The back is more interesting with a pleasant park on the RAVeL cycle path and at the intersection with the main road (at the chip shop) various buildings from a recent industrial past. An information board also tells what they are/were: you can see the remains of a sugar factory, workers' buildings, remains of the cement industry and so on.

What a beautiful Romanesque church. Definitely visit the inside if you can and don't miss the beautiful church path and the area around the church. A small "placement": "Together with the collegiate church of Saint Gertrude in Nivelles and the church of Bertem, it is one of the most representative sanctuaries of Romanesque art in Brabant. It was also the abbess Gertrude of Nivelles herself who sent Adela to Orp to found a monastery there" - see https://www.coeurdelardenne.be/details/ALD-1H-03HW-0001&type=11/ Saint Adela, or Adela of Pfalzel, after whom the church is partly named, lived in the seventh and eighth centuries and also founded the monastery of Pfalzel. Incidentally, she lived for a long time in a palace in Nivelles that she received from her brother-in-law Pepin of Herstal. You can read more about the church itself on the information board on site and in other comments. It is also extensively documented. In this regard, for heritage enthusiasts, you may want to virtually meet Lucie Lecomte, a student at the Université catholique de Louvain who has been mentioned several times in the French-language media this year. After all, she inventoried all the movable heritage of the church. Otherwise, just read her own account (written in French) at https://cipar.be/2025/01/06/eglise-saints-martin-et-adele-dorp-le-grand-temoignage-de-la-realisation-de-son-inventaire/ There you can read about the church that it dates from the 11th century and was listed as a monument in 1937. It suffered major damage during the fires of 1674 and 1940, which made reconstruction and restoration campaigns necessary.

Always very pleasant to walk/run in this beautiful park

in working order

Good terrain for practising riding techniques with different gradients and levels of difficulty. Forest floor, with some roots in places. The MTB single trails for this are located slightly to the left of the actual motocross track in the forest section towards Petit-Hallet.
