Hoegaarden

No, today you are not taking the plane. Nevertheless, you walk through villages and places with names like China and Egypt. The open landscape of the Brabant clay plateau offers you beautiful views and picturesque valleys and villages. On a sunny day, you definitely should come here. A fresh 'White' is the ideal ending to this wonderful walk.
