We depart from the parking lot behind the Castle of Kwabeek. From here we walk past fields and orchards through a rolling landscape with beautiful views everywhere. We walk past beautiful, old farms (Blauwschuurhoeve, Katspoelhof, Hoeve Tienmeel) and the water tower of Bierbeek is visible almost everywhere. A nice walk through the Velpe valley. Doing!!
