Trans-Vlaams-Brabant, Diest - Geraardsbergen, 175 km
This trail is interesting if you like the varied and small scale farming landscape of Flanders and Brabant. Historically this part of Belgium might interest you because it is along the very old border the Romans already knew as a language border, which it continues to be up till our time (and beyond). Walking this path you won't get bored: towns, villages, castles and old farmsteads are strung together.

- Positive Interesting hilly landscape (unique in Flanders). Some historical castles (Sint-Pieters-Rode, Beersel, Gaasbeek) and forests. Clear markings and easy acces to the trail by public transport.

Met de routebeschrijving en praktische zaken in de tekst is de route zeer goed te lopen. Helaas gaat men er toe over steeds minder vaak overnachtingsadressen in de gidsen op te nemen; je bent aangewezen... Read more
