Description by the author

Discover the southern part of the Herkenrode Abbey site during this atmospheric blue walking route. As you wander through rolling fields and meadows, you are immersed in a landscape that has been completely restored to its former glory thanks to the Agency for Nature and Forest and Herita. It feels like you are stepping back in time to the abbey's heyday!
In the traditional orchards, dozens of authentic apple and pear varieties grow, from which delicious apple juice is pressed. Sheep and cattle help manage the landscape, while the new ponds provide a home for special birds such as the mysterious bittern. The meadow pipit, skylark, and stonechat also feel completely at home in this unique environment.
Along the way, you pass the historic mill of Tuilt, which was already mentioned in 1083 as a bannermill. At that time, residents were required to have their grain milled here – an early form of tax! Thanks to a cleverly constructed diversion channel, fish can once again swim freely and reproduce today, a beautiful example of nature restoration in action.
Let yourself be surprised by the landscape, history, and natural beauty of Herkenrode – embark on the blue route and experience it for yourself!
