The Vlierbeek Abbey in the green part of Kessel-Lo is a dream stopover for hikers. By the way, we are not far from the end of our walk: the Flemish art city of Leuven. Benedictine monks lived and worked in this abbey for seven centuries until the French Revolution. The gardens, monumental church and remarkable monastery buildings still exude a special atmosphere. 'Hospitality' was one of the tasks of the abbey, and you can still enjoy it on the cozy terrace of the inn.

Horst Castle

Highlight • Castle

Between the hills of Hagelands lies this idyllic moated castle from the 13th century. It is surrounded by an impressive moat and also wonderful to look at from a distance. The Brasserie Wagenhuis, which is also located here, is ideal for a stop - if on the go hunger comes up.
