The scents and colors of the spring flowers fill your nostrils and the warmth of the filtered sun rays through the beginning foliage gives you warmth and security in this early spring. Just …

Pleasant walk almost entirely in the Brabant Forests National Park. Route without great difficulty with the note that certain passages can be muddy after rainy periods (particularly at km 9). Departure is from a parking lot with toilets, a water fountain, picnic tables and a small awning to protect against a possible downpour. The route is decorated with picnic tables …

Near Sint-Yoris-Weert, the Brabantse Wouden National Park offers numerous paths and trails, each more pleasant than the last. In June, only a few small residual puddles remind us that it has recently rained. Nordic walking, like other sports, is a pleasant experience in the lush green surroundings.

Lovely hike through the meerdaal woods. Plenty of changing scenery with loads of places to rest and enjoy the surroundings. The hike starts and ends from the zoete meer parking lots where there are loads of places to sit down for a refreshing beverage and a bite to eat.
