Zemst Kolk, small loop (30km)

The gully of Zemst is a double loop of a total of 95km in counterclockwise direction around Zemst. See: https://www.routeyou.com/route/view/576864/fietsroute-de-kolk-van-zemst-95km.nl

This section is the second (small) loop of the Zemst gully, of about 30km. The starting point is taken at the church in Weerde (café 't Schoonzicht); the terminus is in Weerde, at Ons Huis (HQ KWB-Weerde -oog van de kolk-) on the Kostervoetweg in Weerde (100m from the Church).

This loop also uses as many unpaved paths, footpaths and farm roads as possible that can create a loop around the eye of the gully. In dry weather these are easy to cycle for the recreational cyclist. In wet weather it becomes an ideal trail for mountain bikers who do not start murmuring when the trail goes over a deep puddle or (narrow) mud paths. This drawn (and controlled) loop does not shy away from the marshy parts (including the wet strips near the Bos van Aa, the Dorent, the Houtembos, the Bloso domain, ...). It can be very nasty during the wet periods of the year.

It is advisable to download this pump on your GPS/smartphone, or to enlarge and download certain parts of the route (see the 'Downloads' tab). Certain roads/paths are difficult to recognize in the neighborhood.

Received a comment from Cyclist Wesley( 08-2017):
Problems at the Eppegem bomb pits. This natural point of nature sausage is not constantly mowed, so it may be that you have to go through tall grass at a certain time. The passage as indicated by the GPX is 100% permeable. If anyone complains there, it is someone from Natuurpunt who personally prefers not to pass through. Stick to the GPX and you can go through it.
