As befits a good Dijle path, this path is located on the Dijle. It partly runs over the Dijlestraat, which leads to the entrance of the De Doode Bemde nature reserve, through which the Dijle meanders elegantly. There is a warehouse of the Friends of Heverleebos and Meerdaalwoud (with information board about De Doode Bemde) and there was once a water mill and chemical factory. The street departs from the road to Sint-Joris-Weert (Neerijsebaan). There you will also find two bunkers from 1939 and an organic flower garden. If, conversely, you depart from the latter location (for example coming from the Sint-Joris-Weert station), there are several Dijle paths and routes through the nature reserve, with gates and often grazers.

Magnificent walk taken on March 2. But absolutely do with very high walking boots or ankle boots. Some places are muddy. The fields are just puddles of water and some places are very difficult to access.
On the other hand, the diversity of paths and landscapes is incredible.
The return along the roadway is a bit long.
