October 4, 2023,Lippelobos wandelroute

This route (can be found at routen.be/lippelobos-wandelroute) takes you past the Dries van Opdorp (Buggenhout), the largest Dries and one of the most beautiful in our country. Beyond the three-province point, the Lippelobos beckons, a beautiful forest with winding paths and stately avenues around the Hof castle in Melis. We could leave from home and pick up along the way.
