Description by the author

NL - GR 512 verbindt de steden Diest en Geraardsbergen met een 173 km lang traject in oostwestelijke richting door Vlaams Brabant en Oost-Vlaanderen. Je verkent pittoreske hoekjes en historische gebouwen in Diest. Je trekt door het Hagelandse heuvellandschap, Brabantse bossen en valleien, het traditierijke Pajottenland en de Dendervallei. De Houwaartse berg vol wijnranken, de kastelen van Horst, Beersel en Gaasbeek en traditionele vierkantshoeven kruisen je weg. Je stapt tussen majestueuze bomen in het Walenbos, Meerdaalwoud, Zoniënwoud, Neigembos en Raspaillebos. Beschermde natuurgebieden in de valleien van de Dijle, de IJse en de Zenne trekken ongetwijfeld je aandacht. Via Gaasbeek en Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Lombeek, enkele van Vlaanderens’ mooiste dorpjes, bereik je de Muur van Geraardsbergen en zijn stedelijk monumentschoon op het marktplein.

In de bijhorende topogids wordt de 173 km lange route opgedeeld in 4 delen, waarbij elk deel is opgesplitst in dagetappes. We kozen voor een gemiddelde stapdag van ongeveer 20 km, waarbij zoveel mogelijk rekening werd gehouden met aansluitingen met het openbaar vervoer en nabijgelegen logies. De volledige Brabantse Heuvelrouteroute kun je op die manier afstappen in 9 dagen.

EN - GR 512 connects the cities of Diest and Geraardsbergen with a 173 km east-west route through Flemish Brabant and East Flanders. You explore picturesque places and historic buildings in Diest. You walk through the Hageland hills, Brabant forests and valleys, the tradition-rich Pajottenland and the Dender valley. The Houwaart mountain full of vines, the castles of Horst, Beersel and Gaasbeek and traditional square farms cross your path. You step among majestic trees in the Walenbos, Meerdaalbos, Zoniënbos, Neigembos and Raspaillebos. Protected nature reserves in the valleys of the Dijle, IJse and Zenne undoubtedly catch your attention. Via Gaasbeek and Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Lombeek, some of Flanders' most beautiful villages, you reach the Muur van Geraardsbergen and its urban monument beauty on the market square.

In the accompanying topoguide, the 173km route is divided into four sections, with each divided into day stages. We chose an average day of about 20 km, taking into account public transport connections and nearby accommodation as much as possible. The entire Brabant Hill Route can thus be walked in 9 day
