Description by the author

Op stap met Willem 'Helschot' door bosdomeinen van paters en prinsen

Deze Dagstapper laat je kennismaken met de GR 5.

Vanuit Westerlo trek je, ten zuiden van de Grote Nete, door het uitgestrekte bosdomein Hertberg. Zandwegen leiden je langs de rand van het dorpje Blauberg, waar schrijver Willem Elsschot vaak rust zocht. Onderweg naar de abdij van Averbode doorkruis je een uniek landschap van vennen, vijvers, heidegronden en naaldbossen. Na een picknick of ijsje langs ‘de lekdreef’ bij de abdij, zigzag je nogmaals door het natuurherstelgebied ten noorden van Averbode. In de vallei van de Rode Laak wisselen weidegronden af met de natte, wilde bossen Helschot en Varenbroek. Een oeverpad langs de meanderende Grote Nete voert je weer naar Westerlo.
