June 12, 2023,Ham - Kwaadmechelen (Veldhovenheide)
Walked around my own region early this morning. Started from the parking lot of the Sports & Recreation Domain 't Vlietje, Sportlaan 10 in Ham.

A nice round through a forest area with many narrow paths. After about 4.5/5 kilometers the possibility to take a break at IJssalon Tartufo (see opening hours) facebook.com/Seazoenssalontartufo
