Οι καλύτερες πεζοπορίες σε καταρράκτες κοντά σε Φλαμανδική Βραβάντη

Μια υπέροχη, απρόσμενη πεζοπορία στην καρδιά ενός αστικού περιβάλλοντος, όπου υπάρχουν ήσυχα και ειδυλλιακά μονοπάτια, τις περισσότερες φορές ακολουθώντας την πορεία ενός ποταμού. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.

At Nature Alice you will find alpacas and ostriches, you can buy sweaters, duvets and so on made from alpaca wool.

The Begijnenbos is a charming, densely wooded area where quiet paths wind their way through deciduous trees and meandering streams. This green gem, located near the famous Beersel Castle, offers walkers a peaceful escape with lush nature and the sound of birdsong in the background.

The former Winderickx cardboard factory is located between the meadows, fields and forests. Also called the Herisemmolen. This 16th-century paper mill gradually switched to the production of cardboard in 1853. The cardboard factory closed in 1940, but the machines remained untouched until now. This is one of the best preserved sites from the flourishing paper and cardboard industry in Flemish Brabant of yesteryear. You can visit the site, including the original paper mill and cardboard factory. It is very special how during your visit you observe the transition from how the artisanal craft of paper making gradually grew into an industry.

We take a moment to enjoy a delicious, fresh Belgian beer. We do this in Biercentrum De Lambiek in Alsemberg. Here you will immediately learn everything about the history, ingredients and brewing process of Lambic beers, Geuze and Kriek. Did you know that Lambic is the oldest of the existing beer types in Belgium? It is a wheat beer, for connoisseurs: complex, layered and sour. You can drink the beer as is, but at the same time it also forms the basis for the iconic gueuze and cherry beers that are very typical of Brussels and the region around it. The beer center opens its doors once a month. When that is and more information about the entrance fees, you can find it on the website of Biercentrum De Lambiek. Cheers! Beer lover? Then you probably already knew that our Belgian beer culture is on the UNESCO list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

Highly recommended. Not to be missed if you are in the area!

Very pretty panorama of the village of Beersel, from the hill on the GR12 trail
