Hiking

A sunken road that carves its way through the plateau brings peace, security and coolness to the landscape.

Hiking

A sunken road is a road that is so deeply worn that it lies between two slopes. It is the result of centuries of use and erosion. The most beautiful sunken roads can be found especially in hilly areas with a subsoil that easily forms steep walls, such as in Haspengouw and Hageland.
