Walking through the hills at Slenaken

East of Slenaken you can take a beautiful walk through the hills. You walk through hillside forests and past meadows. Ideal to relax for a day.

Water well
First enjoy a coffee with something delicious at Auberge de Smockelaer, so that you set off with sufficient energy. First you walk through De Molt: a hillside forest that is located on the Plateau of Crapoel. After a while you walk through the adjacent Kruisbos. Here too it is wonderfully quiet to walk under the canopy. You pass through the hamlet of Landsrade, you pass some old farms and a historic well.

Loorberg
You then walk through a valley of meadows, fields and hedges. You walk a bit into the Groote Bos. This old nature reserve is a remnant of an old forest that once grew on the entire Crapoel Plateau. Finally, you climb the Loorberg, one of the toughest climbs in the Amstel Gold Race. Grab a bench here and enjoy the beautiful view of the idyllic surroundings.
