July 9, 2022,Aspermansvijver – Trail with handles Circuit à partir de Neerharen

Start and finish in Neerharen, Van Kerckemstrrat, 12.
In fact, in this street there is the possibility of parking without disturbing the neighborhood.
Very nice easy route in the national park of Hoge Kempen Belgian Limburg.
If you are nature lover and quiet this is for you.
