This walking route through the Brussels metropolitan area takes you along a fascinating mix of history and architecture. You start at the Church of Vlezenbeek, a parish church with a fascinating building history that dates back to the fourteenth century. After that, you walk to the iconic Witse Tree on the Puttenberg, a spot that fans of the eponymous TV series will surely recognize. The linden tree, also known as the Witse Tree, is a lovely stopping point for a photo. Continue your way to the charming wall chapel along the Breemput, where you can take a break and experience the tranquility of the surroundings. The route is a loop of 3.7 kilometers with a moderate difficulty level, ideal for a relaxed walk. With only 14 meters of elevation gain, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through a car-free area, perfect for unwinding completely.
