アールスコートの峡谷・トップ4

Hollow road through the Lindenbos. Very steep slope, but after climbing you are suddenly in another world of wide fields.

mill town

Very nice, is a path down.

Nice single track through the sunken road that descends from grass forest to the railway. The sunken road is called the hellestraat.

Hollow road that runs from Grasbos down to the Demer valley.

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.

Currently difficult to walk, very swampy.

The name Holleweg appears at quite a few points here, it is easy to lose your way. Just look at the map or Google Maps: there is a Holleweg that starts at the Turnhoutsebaan and makes a half turn at brasserie Jeffrey's to the same Turnhoutsebaan, but closer to Diest. At the same time you have two stretches of Holleweg that leave/arrive on the rightmost part of that half-ellipse: the Holleweg as the narrow road that descends to Diest AND at the same place the Holleweg as a larger track that goes to the left, upwards, and where some of those typical large houses with a view over Diest are located. So you can prepare quite well :) At a certain point you can even look from the Holleweg all the way into the depths to a smaller sunken road with the name, indeed, Holleweg.
