819 - 820 - 815 - 816 - 818 - 819

This route through the Mechelen City Region takes you past several special places that reflect the rich history and architecture of the area. You start at the O.-L.-V.-Hammeken along the Zenne, where the tranquility of nature immediately embraces you. As you continue walking, you pass the charming chapel O.-L.-Vrouw-in-het-Hammeke, a serene place that invites contemplation. The route leads you to a renovated farm in Schom, where a statue of Mary on the facade makes you pause to reflect on local traditions. Don't forget to admire the zebra crossing that seems to have vanished under your feet: it provides a playful interruption in your walk. At Zennedijk, enjoy the view over the Waterken, a place where nature and history come together. This easy 3.3-kilometer loop offers you the chance to relax and enjoy the natural beauty, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
