We have walked this Broekem walk in the past. Today we are doing the same route but in the opposite direction because, as you know, you get a completely different 'view' of this walk.

The route of this evening walk can be easily described. The first quarter of the walk unfolds in the stately Troostembergbos, where the old beech trees evoke something solemn in this place. The next quarter winds along footpaths and small, car-free streets.

Broekem walk in the beautiful Hagelandse Heuvels, with some elevation gain. Walk of 10.4 km, of which 7.5 km is unpaved. Paved areas are mainly low-traffic asphalt and cobblestone roads, but also a small section along a major road. Varied and beautiful walk including open fields and forest, but I do not recommend doing this …
