Dijle- en Lanewandeling

SP - 228 - 227 - 226 - 235 - 236 - 255 - 238 - 237 - 232 - 231 - 265 - 230 - 229 - 228 - 234

Departure at the Sint-Agatha church which is somewhat hidden behind a giant plantain planted as a liberty tree in 1830 on the occasion of the Belgian independence. Meanwhile, the tree is over 30 m tall and has a trunk circumference of more than 4.60 m. This walk leads you through the greenery of the Dijle and Lane valleys in Sint-Agatha-Rode. You will cross forest roads and follow the banks of both rivers almost to the point of their confluence. Pass beautiful flora, grazing cows and vast landscapes. Pass by the Grootbroek, which consists mainly of a large pond that was dug out of the marshy basin of the Dijle valley.

TIP: From node 229, follow the plank path 600 meters in the direction of node 105 and climb the watchtower. Enjoy the view over the Grootbroek, for many birds an exquisite residence or necessary resting place during their annual migrations.
