About
Trail On foot of 24 km to be discovered at Flanders, Limburg, Genk. This trail is proposed by National Park Trail.
Description
You mainly walk through extensive forests in the southern foothills of the Kempen Plateau. You cross or walk along some crystal clear streams and sometimes you feel a small touch of Haspengouw.
This stage connects three "Gates to the National Park": Kattevennen, Lieteberg (1 km from the trail) and Pietersheim, once a seigniory of the Princes of Mérode.
An important part of this hike coincides with the legendary GR 5.
