In Schaffen, a sub-municipality of Diest, there is a windmill. I thought it would be nice to walk from there to the one in my own village. Today was the day. The shortest route from Schaffen to Tessenderlo is the railway line from Diest to the Tessenderlo factory. But that is not really allowed / is…

Arenberg Castle in Leuven is well known to most people, as are the surrounding water features, the park and of course the protected water mill with the Dijle. It is also a concept for students, especially with the extensive domain that extends to the 'sports room'.
The dukes of Arenberg always had close…

Today we had to be near Brustem, a sub-municipality of Sint-Truiden, and had some time for a short walk. And I had been looking forward to it for some time, because Brustem contains something that interests me very much. After all, the small Haspengouw village, which is best known for the Royal School…

A walk in Bergerven, a less well-known and therefore less 'busy' part of the Hoge Kempen National Park where water and forests claim the leading role. We walked from the starting point Forest Camp of recreation domain Warredal in Neeroeteren (Maaseik) and stepped in and around Bergerven with a stretch…

Earlier today we walked around the Brusselsepoort, looking for hidden gems. More about that walk here: komoot.nl/tour/1018960659 For one of our other children we had to be near the Parkstraat in Leuven. So we took a shorter and later walk around what is undoubtedly the most famous of the four abbeys…

Today we had to be in two places in Leuven. So we did more than two walks, one close to each location we needed to be. This first walk is based on a brochure that was published on the occasion of Open Monuments Day 2017. The walk takes you past less (and sometimes barely) known heritage, interspersed…

I wanted to walk from the mill in Diest (Lindenmolen) - which originally stood in the borough of Schaffen - to the Verloren Kostmolen in Schaffen and view the waterworks that take place east of Diest and on the Webbekoms Broek along the way. However, I ended up in Webbekom (Diest district). There is…

For the first time in several years to my beloved Zeeland. Although Emmadorp is not the Zeeland that many know and somewhere also a bit of Antwerp and East Flanders. Made a round in the hamlet of Emmadorp (in the municipality of Hulst) but first the Plankierpad in the nature reserve Het Verdronken Land…

The Zwarte Beek and Dommel originate in the border area of Hechtel, Wijchmaal (Peer) and Helchteren - where this walk is situated. After a round of the Begijnenvijvers I went to the small but important nature reserve the Schuilenswijer where the Bolissenbeek (tributary of the Dommel) and Zwarte Beek…

This afternoon my son and I walked in the woods and heaths of Averbode. We once started from another spot: Veerle-Heide, where Averbode bos & heide is never far away, with its special 'modern' church by a fairly well-known architect. From there it went past 't Buurthuis to Langven and Geerkesvijver to…
