Description by the author

This trail/MTB loop runs integrally on the west side of the E19 in Zemst and passes Vilvoorde.
It is a loop of about 25km, made for mountain bikers, located in Zemst and partly in Vilvoorde (in and around Houtem).
On the MTB site this loop is also (https://www.routeyou.com/nl/route/view/680525/mountainbikeroute/mtb-zemst-groene-lus.nl ), but also in this routing there are several errors. These have been passed through, but these errors remain both on the signs at the starting points (e.g. here: Info board that is in Houtem (Vilvoorde): https://www.routeyou.com/nl/location/view/47929192/informatiebord-mtb-lus-zemst-te-houtem-hier-komt-de-groene-lus-langs.nl ) and in the GPX routing. So don't use them and take them correct here.

For the trail runners some loop features:
Real walking distance = 25,2km
Distance paved = 16,8km (=67%)
Distance paved (Dolomite EDM) = 4,1km (=16%)
distance unpaved = 4,3km (=17%)
Over about 3km there is the possibility to deviate from the asphalt strip and take an unpaved along path.
Quite a lot of asphalt and paved surface, so you can easily walk this loop with regular running shoes.

The loop on the information board runs in clockwork direction and is also green in that direction.
The loop drawn on the information board is wrong in several places (impermeable pieces in Eppegem and Weerde). If you follow the green arrows in "clockwork clockwise", and they haven't disappeared (which has happened a few times), then you don't need this card.
ON the site of Mountainbike Routes ( http://www.mtbroutes.be/routedetail.php?id=221 ) there are the same errors in the GPX of this loop.

This loop is 100% correct, runs in counterclockwise direction (so you won't find any clues along the way), and it starts at the glass bins in Weerde (at the intersection of the Galgenberg with the Schumanlaan).

Good luck everyone.
