Hiking

The walking path - called the Miners' Path - was constructed on the old Zottegem-Ronse railway bed and takes us straight through a valley in which the Zwalm runs.

Hiking

The "Miner's Path" is not only a walking path, but especially in the summer a busy cycle path! Most cyclists between Michelbeke and Brakel.

Hiking

Miners' path: a cycle and walking path on the former Zottegem-Brakel-Ellezelles railway line. Flemish miners from the region often chose to remain living in the countryside. They used this railway connection to commute daily or weekly to the Hainaut coal mines in the Borinage. The railway line was closed in 1963.
