The Hoppe Walk takes you from Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle to Sint-Martens-Bodegem and back. Before 1950, the landscape was still defined by fields with hop poles. Each brewery also used to have its own hop fields. Now there are only a few left in the municipality. Along the way you'll walk past the Girardin Brewery. Here, they still brew Lambic, Kriek and Geuze. In Sint-Martens-Bodegem you can still find one of the last witnesses of the half-timber and loam building in the Pajottenland, the little house Mostinckx. The hike can be shortened to 6.9 km starting at house Mostickx (Dorpsplein 5, Sint-Martens-Bodegem) or to 5.2 km starting at the church of Sint-Ulriks-Kapelle. This hike is signposted with a 6-sided sign with the name Hoppewandeling.
