You can start this route at the Vroome in Kalmthout or the tourist office at the Kiekenhoeve in Essen. Follow the hexagonal signs for the heathland route. The route itself is approximately 57 km. We started from home.

That was another round with WOW-Tours.
Beautiful forest paths with fascinating tree-lined avenues, country lanes, almost always far away from roads, perfect weather with sun 🌞 and warmth, beautiful lakes and heathland, which of course had already faded, but still looked fantastically beautiful in the sunset.
At the start, a fairytale mystical atmosphere in the forest.
fantastic!
