On the Leuven side of the Stierke sunken road (probably a nickname of a former owner of the meadows around it) you will find red chalice mushrooms at the end …

Hiking

The sunken road of Stierke cuts the Stierke meadow, a plot of the Koeheide nature reserve on the edge of Bertembos, in half. It was the sunken road that brought the people of Leuven to Bertembos for centuries. The road was used as a landfill for years and was made open and accessible again more than 10 years ago by the Dijleland Regional Landscape.

Hiking

A beautiful but steep sunken road that takes you from below in Bertembos back to the exit at Gasthuisberg via a beautiful path through the fields. This is usually very muddy.
