Trail Reviews
It was my second day hiking with my children at Terhills, the Nation Park Hoge Kempen. We followed the yellow route, which had some steep climbs at the beginning. I'm surprised it has more meters than yesterday in the Ardennes. Very beautiful natuur. It was a pity that there were a lot of visitors, especially on top of the terrils. You were only able to find some peace further deep in the woods.
A somewhat longer but beautiful nature walk with three climbs. This tour passes beautiful views, winding forest paths, the tops of terrils and nice resting places along the water. After such a beautiful walk you can also enjoy a delicious Belgian beer.
Especially the first part of the walk is beautiful and challenging.
Followed the purple route plus an extra loop over the orange/green route
Superb hike on this sunny afternoon. We extended the purple walk departing from the Maasmechelen tourist office. Despite 2 route errors which took us along a fast road and through an adorable holiday village. We recommend this national park.
Hike from the litzberg over the twin slag heap and then over the long slag heap. Mostly on unpaved paths. Being able to take beautiful pictures of the sunrise from the twin slag heap. The low hanging fog makes it even more beautiful.
Very nice tour. In parts it is steep uphill so you have to be in shape for this tour. I've put together the tour so that a whole part of the purple route on Terhills and the green route of the Lanklaardesbos are linked together. Make sure you follow the correct route because not everywhere the posts are followed.
Will the second part of the tour interrupted by komoot it was very relaxing
