What a wonderful day to hike another stretch of the SGR Hageland! Close to the bustling city of Leuven, yet still plenty of unpaved paths for a pleasant walk. Van 't Park Abbey is located halfway along this stage and makes a lovely stop. Along the way, you'll cross a Hageland ridge, with the Martinusberg

Another hiking suggestion picked up from komoot...
Mollendaalbos is not unfamiliar to me. I think I've walked in this forest in every season...nice and cool and secluded in the summer, open in the winter, with beautiful vistas. And yet, following in someone else's footsteps is something special for me

A challenging stretch of the SGR today...
Speelberg, Chartreuzerberg, Mezenberg, Kesselse Berg... valleys, climbs... through wooded surroundings... it was all on the agenda today. Slow uphills, steep climbs, steep descents... slides, it was all part of it! These are the Hageland ridges we're proud of

After months of struggling with heel spurs in both feet, I bought new walking shoes and podiatric insoles. The visit to the podiatrist, Borgions, gave me a lot of clarity about my walking posture (position of feet, lower legs, pelvis, etc.), tips for additional exercises, etc. Especially as I get older

Today, a dry, gray day to hike another section of our SGR Hageland trail.
Over and along the Beninksberg, a beautiful, wooded Hageland ridge, to the wet, muddy Broeken van de Winge. Towards Horst Castle, with a coffee/wine break at 't Wagenhuis, through the sunken roads of Kortrijk-Dutsel to the Speelberg

Sometimes you plan a walk on komoot, arrive at your destination, and the path no longer exists.
On the way from Zichem to the Catselt nature reserve, I was faced with a completely overgrown path, so I decided to take a detour on asphalt...
The paths through Catselt and on the Eikelenberg are easily accessible

Beautiful, sunny autumn Sunday!!!
Downloaded a Komoot walk nearby...
I started from Nieuwrode Church and followed the St. Jobspad for a few kilometers. This path follows one of the most beautiful Hageland ridges and offers stunning views. On the southern flank of this ridge, you'll find several vineyards

The hiking trail between Korbeek-Lo and Willebringen, on the SGR Hageland nature reserve, runs mainly along small field paths and through sunken lanes.
At the start, it was -4°C, sunrise, frost, a cold easterly wind, and a steely blue sky.
A week ago, I was still walking briefly in a T-shirt, but now I
