Description by the author

This trail along the Senne is a generous extension of my Zennetrail https://www.routeyou.com/route/view/663794/wandelroute-zennetrail-dry-track-weerde-zemst-hombeek-71km--56km.nl.

The GPX of the drawn loop starts at the intersection of the Vredelaan with the Klokputweg and leaves the Klokputweg (Northeast train station Weerde). You can park your car at the train station in Weerde and afterwards recover from your efforts in café de Rut. You can of course start your loop anywhere or only do part of it.

This loop avoids a passage through the Senne (which not many athletes like) and has therefore been developed as an alternative to this 20Miler: https://www.routeyou.com/route/view/729608/wandelroute-zotte-zennetrail-weerde-zemst-hombeek-eppegem-322km-20mi.nl .
To complete the 20 miles, a path is followed on the northeast side of the E19 until just past the lower crossing of the Senne under the E19. This small part can then be walked back so that the distance obtained remains the same.

For the rest, this loop is identical to https://www.routeyou.com/route/view/729608/wandelroute-zotte-zennetrail-weerde-zemst-hombeek-eppegem-322km-20mi.nl

Therefore, read the description given there. In summary: a 20Miler over 98% unpaved road (!!!) with (currently) 2 prohibited passages (which used to be permeable) and 1 crossing where you have to pay close attention.

This full trail is unsuitable for non-sporty people who avoid a physical challenge.

ON-BE-PAST: This is a REAL trail of which a reasonable part of the trails ARE NOT MAINTAINED! In the nettle season, only walk this trail in long pants: 1/5th of the trails are fairly overgrown by nettles or have become so narrow that you inevitably come into contact with them. During and after the growth spurt in nature, certain paths are also overgrown by tall grasses, so you have to turn with your legs 'over them' or you risk a fall because your legs get stuck. In any case, a wonderful experience in every season.

For the sports enthusiast, this trail (98% unpaved) offers you an unforgettable experience along many old slow roads and unpaved paths along the only remaining flow-Zennemeanders from Brussels, some closed Zennemeanders, and two Zennever discounts.

More information about the uniqueness of this trail can be found on this Facebook fan page: https://www.facebook.com/FietsEnWandelbrugE19 . Click on 'Photos', then on the 'Albums' button, and select the album 'Presentation material Information evening 22 March 2013', pages 3 to 13.
