Opwijk 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

연못가 벤치

March 2026: no picnic table in sight. It's still a lovely path here, of course! It's a shame you have to walk between two wire fences.

At the edge of the forest, a place to rest after a walk in the woods.

On the edge of the Kravaalbos, WAF allowed the facade of Café Stinne to blend into a painted forest landscape. The exterior blends seamlessly with its surroundings, with a facade landscape that seems to have emerged straight from the animal forest. A charming integration of nature and hospitality.

From the tower you have a different view of the forest.

The Kravaalbos is an ecologically valuable old-growth forest, characterized by a colorful spring flora. It is centrally located in the beautiful, gently rolling landscape between Aalst, Asse, and Opwijk. Here originate the streams that meander so charmingly through the landscape. The forest is accessible year-round on the paths. Sturdy shoes are recommended. In rainy weather, the paths become muddy and difficult to navigate. Not accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.

A work by WAF (2023).

The St. Walburga's Church in Meldert, near Aalst, dates from 1363, but the aisle with the mural was built in the 15th century. The painting is likely part of the church's earliest decorations. The scene was successively covered by a Gothic reredos and the current Baroque altar from the 17th century. The painting was hidden for no less than 400 years. Ilona Hans-Collas, an expert in medieval art, dates the painting to around 1550, which would make it one of the oldest in the region.
