Adventure in Sint-Job

'On Adventure in Sint-Job, but not on a Donkey without a Head'

'And we ride to Sint-Job on a donkey, on a donkey we ride to Sint-Job on a donkey without a head, so we ride with a horse on a donkey, on a donkey so we ride with a horse on a donkey without a tail'

Don't be deterred by the title, but sturdy hiking shoes are recommended. Depending on the weather conditions, there may be some very muddy paths.

After a long, straight 'paved' road along beautiful or not so beautiful villas, we turn onto a wide forest path. Further on, we will encounter other 'hovels' of forest dwellers. At junction 48, we turn right. After about 1 km, alongside a cornfield, we will encounter some meadows where horses, both big and small, try to find something edible. With a bit of acrobatics, we will get past some large puddles.

Eventually, we will enter the Domain De Poppelaer, which is part of the Kempen Landscape. Towards the end, we will come to a play area. However, anyone too tired from all those adventures can calmly continue to a nice establishment where we can relax with a cold drink or something similar.

Have fun without a donkey.
