Nice walk to do in the domain of the castle Ter Rijst. Departure from the car park of the Sint-Bernardus church then we alternate the paths in the woods with paths and some sections of road. Possibility of picnic in the beautiful domain of Ter Rijst at km 4.2. No height difference and circuit within everyone's reach.
