For the forced meniscus operation next week, I still put on the walking shoes and went to Dilbeek. Hike I found on the instagram profile of one user called Wandel_addiction, thanks for that 😀
Great trip where waterproof footwear or boots are really a must this time of year

Dilbeek – Autumn Walk through the Wolfsputten

The Wolfsputten nature reserve is a green gem in the greater Brussels area.

The marked walk (hexagonal signs with the inscription "Wolfsputten") takes you through the forests, meadows, scrubland, and fields of Dilbeek. Boardwalks ensure you can navigate the stream valley dry-shod. On the slow paths, you'll discover a landscape teeming with a …

Today we went on the Wolfsputtenroute in Dilbeek. At the start we immediately got decking stairs. Horses came to watch and we had to give way to one. We got a beautiful view from the viewing platform but our Akina was tired quickly. She wasn't in great shape. On the way she wanted to go pit in this late summer …

An autumn walk through the Wolfsputten (komoot.com/nl-nl/tour/2628213682) inspired us to go for a walk in Dilbeek. We chose the Wolfsputten walk, which included a detour past Viron Castle and the church of Dilbeek.

We really enjoyed the Wolfsputten walk: lots of greenery and mostly unpaved paths. And lots of birds along the way. That was noticeable. We even saw two …

Nice walk to do on the Dilbeek side with most of the journey in the woods or on paths. Many parking spaces available at the start and picnic tables available (km 5.6 and 7.5). Muddy passages after rainy periods, especially on the Wolfsputten side (over 300 to 400 m around km 1.6). Recommended walk in good weather, with a visit …

Very nice walk to do in the surroundings of Dilbeek. Almost entirely on paths or trails, along fields or in the woods. Circuit passing along lakes or ponds, with places to rest or picnic (km 6.4, 6.2, 7.2), with a lovely view from a footbridge at km 8.6. We finish passing by the Viron castle where the Dilbeek town hall …

The wolf pits are a beautiful 90 ha nature reserve. In Dilbeek you can leave the route for a while to quench your thirst and hunger in 't Verwenkaffee.
