A beautiful hike that runs 80% through nature. We start from Hulsen at the Sint-Hubertus Church.

We follow the river Grote Nete and walk from Hulsen towards Meerhout. Here we walk past the Grote Netewoud visitor center. (Nature point)

From Meerhout we walk towards Bel and then follow the route back to our starting point in Hulsen.
