The Old Railway Embankment

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

January 9, 2022,20220109 Dagstapper Kontich - Duffel

Because we wanted to do an extra piece of the GR12, we parked in the Kruisschanslei.
Alternative parking: Duffel station or at Waarloos church.
After rain, high walking shoes are a must, parts of the Oude Spoorwegberm were covered.

Original 'day hiker Duffel' from the GR.
Some abbreviations because that bad knee is a drag on my leg.

Build up route before returning to GR12 route. Originally this walk is the train walker Kontich - Sint-Katelijne-Waver. We deviated at the end of the straight path and chose the direction of Duffel, 600m less than to Katelijne, but it saved us an extra train ride.
Nice weather and nice route, although some lower forest paths were still seriously flooded.
