New Nature Walks Inaugurated in Tremelo and Begijnendijk
Two scenic walking routes open for local and visiting nature enthusiasts.
Tremelo and Begijnendijk have officially inaugurated two new nature walking routes, providing scenic paths for both locals and visitors that connect the Demer and Dijle rivers.
The walks include the 'Betekomse Beemdenwandeling' in Begijnendijk and the 'Landschapswandeling Balenberg' in Tremelo, featuring options for hikers to choose between long and short loops.
These routes showcase some of the most picturesque landscapes in the Noord-Hageland region.
The project is a collaborative effort involving Regional Landscape North Hageland, Tourism Flemish Brabant, and the municipalities of Tremelo, Begijnendijk, Rotselaar, and Keerbergen.
Yves Beken, chairman of Regional Landscape North Hageland, noted that this collaboration reflects a common goal to invest in high-quality and sustainable recreational opportunities for the region.
The 'Landschapswandeling Balenberg' offers hikers the choice of a 2.4-kilometer or an 11.7-kilometer loop, both starting and finishing at the Sven Nys Cycling Center.
Meanwhile, the 'Betekomse Beemdenwandeling' consists of 8.8-kilometer and 10.2-kilometer circular routes that begin and terminate at the Sint-Laurentiuskerk in Betekom.
Informational leaflets provided along the hikes include stories about the local environment, wildlife, and cultural heritage.
Alderman Bertrand Eraly (CD&V) of Tremelo highlighted that the routes include rest points and natural play areas, such as picnic benches, stilt courses, and play elements.
The total investment for the landscape walks amounted to nearly 59,000 euros, with approximately 38,000 euros funded by the Flemish Rural Development Programme, while the remaining costs were covered by the participating municipalities.
The new walking routes are designed to attract a diverse range of hikers, from families and casual walkers to more experienced outdoor enthusiasts.
The paths cater to varying fitness levels and time constraints, making outdoor access more inclusive.
The emphasis on the natural beauty and tranquility of Noord-Hageland enhances the region's appeal for those seeking outdoor activities.
The proximity of the hiking routes to notable locations, such as the Sven Nys Cycling Center, adds cultural and recreational value to the walking experience.
This initiative aligns with the growing public interest in wellness and eco-friendly travel, promoting outdoor recreation in the area.
