Walking through Pajottenland

This walk takes you through the heart of the Pajottenland, a beautiful oasis of space, greenery and silence in Flemish Brabant. You walk through a rolling landscape of fields, meadows and streams. A lovely region that the locals like to call the Tuscany of the North.

Old square farms
On your route you will pass some of those typical Belgian roadside chapels. You will also see beautiful characteristic farms. On the Trontingenstraat, for example, you pass Hoeve Trontingen, a semi-closed farm from 1854. A lot further south you walk past the whitewashed farm of Hof te Bree-Eik, one of the largest and most impressive square farms in the Pajottenland. This once noble residence dates from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Gaasbeek
The route starts in small Gaasbeek, one of the 50 most beautiful villages in Flanders. The leafy village square with the centuries-old church, parsonage and historic pillory is a protected village sight. Afterwards you can enjoy a moment on a terrace in Gaasbeek. Lover of regional beer? In the Pajottenland Lambic is still produced according to an authentic process. With origins dating back to 1300, it is undoubtedly one of the oldest surviving beers.
