헷 빈네 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Want to get a feel for the life on and around Het Vinne? The observation tower is literally a highlight for birdwatchers and lovers of fauna and flora.

A perfect place to enjoy your nest egg. Here in the landscape, next to the St. Odolphus Chapel, stands the blossom artwork "Het Klokhuis" (The Clock House). This fruity pun is made of corten steel and includes a small bench. In the distance, you can see the tower of the St. Odolphus Parish Church looming.

No geese? No worries. The benches and picnic tables will remain alongside this short path between the green area behind the town center (with the bee village and herb garden) and the lake and its reeds. Plenty of passing by, sometimes not geese but other animals, including Homo sapiens and Canis lupus familiaris. Picnicking risks attracting other species.

Since the spring of 2025, the lookout tower has also been the starting point for the "The Legend of Het Vinne" hike. But you have to climb all the way to the top floor (fortunately, it's only two flights of stairs) to get started. There, you'll also find a map and discover more about "the magical legend of brave Ronald"—and his buddy Ronny. A listening story for the younger and young-at-heart hiker that takes you to eight locations with the friends Ronald and Ronny. The voices are by Dimitri Leue, Francesca Vanthielen, Frank Deboosere, Nic Balthazar, and Saartje Vandendriessche. The hike is 4.3 km long and takes two hours. I really enjoyed the letter forest. And also... Wait, figure it out for yourself. Info at https://pers.vlaamsbrabant.be/luisterverhaal-breng-het-vinne-tot-leven-h1j5j8 There's really no reason now not to go to Het Vinne with your children or grandchildren. At least, that's what I think. But I already thought that a few decades ago when the previous tower was there, as my now-rudely grown-up kids can attest ;)

Birdwatching on the water...

Where dry feet make a sound...

Adjacent to the Cloth Hall...

A challenge for sight and feel...
