11km distance

In every moment there is a miracle,
A chance to see the world with full love,
With open eyes and a heart full of tinder,
We can contemplate the beauty of life.
The sun sometimes shone its radiant light,
The trees reflected on the flat water, but not their core, it was …

Beautiful walk in East Flanders, through the Scheldevallei National Park. You walk almost the entire route on walking paths and forest paths through the magnificent Berlarebroekbos and its reserve. You finish by going around the Donkmeer. I had a great time again.

Apart from a few hundred meters of quiet road near the wastewater treatment plant (km 7.4), the circuit is entirely on paths and trails and, for the most part, well shaded; an ideal walk in hot weather to keep cool. Water is omnipresent, whether in …
