Blosodomein Hofstade, 10km loop (the longest freely accessible), starts at the Weerde entrance.

Loop of 10 km through the Bloso domain Hofstade: The longest loop you can make within the boundaries of the freely accessible nature domain, without having to walk / walk / cycle the same path 1 time! A truly unique experience in the wider area.
100% traffic-free, 80% in the forest. Take advantage of it!

Departure and arrival of the GPS loop is near the entrance from Weerde (northwest side, on the side of the swimming pool / station of Hofstade). Look here for the opening hours of this access: https://www.routeyou.com/location/view/47513809/noordwestingang-blosodomein-hofstade-langs-station-met-openingsuren.nl . Parking for Zemstenaars at the pool opposite this entrance. If you come from far away, take the southern or eastern parking lot.

The loop starts at the top of the recreational pond and runs in a counter-hour direction, so with the recreational pond on your left.
She passes the sailing facilities, the sports hotel and the skate facilities, where you continue to follow the large pond on the left.
At the boat restaurant (opposite a war memorial) you turn right back towards the sports hotel. There you take a left and immediately behind the canal you take the along path. You follow that moat for more than 1.65 km (past a work of art, the Sportimonium and the northeast entrance), until you reach the warehouses / lending service that appear on your right.

Just before the last building of the warehouse: lending service, take the right between the buildings towards the eastern forest behind. You will come across alternating large and somewhat narrower roads / paths, occasionally quite bumpy because a part of the mountain bike piste is visited.
We take the longest possible road there without having to do a path 2x. This runs through long straights in a zigzag along the outside of the eastern forest.

If you do not use GPS for your navigation, print this route (via 'download'), and also print this POI, because you will not find a map with the correct existing paths anywhere in this eastern part:

Open this map in a separate TAB in your browser (new TAB, then copy/paste), so you can easily print it on an A4 sheet (File/print preview).

On this POI you notice that you can start the loop in 7 other places.

At the north of forest near the northeast exit, take a left and follow the railway line west to the old closure of the Bloso domain. Follow this to the left (leave the track), and follow the first rectangular pond on your left for 50m (the fence on the right is open in one place). At the end, this walk is occupied over 20m with thorn bushes. The more people who get through here, the better and easier this passage is. In the end you have to go under a gate.
Take a left there and move between the current and next rectangular pond.
Repeat this 2 times until you have been along the east side of the easternmost pond.

Then you follow the canal further in a northwesterly direction, and further the closure of the paying part of the domain. Then return to the starting point along the central road between the two largest ponds: Exactly 10km in the forest and traffic-free: unique in the wide surroundings of Weerde / Hofstade / Zemst / Mechelen.
Very pleasant for everyone!
