Comments

Wanneer je vertrekt aan toegangspoort Mechelse heide, begin je aan 1 van de mooiste stukken van de route. Hier vind je de grootste hoogteverschillen. Dit betekend ook dat de steilste stukken helemaal op het einde van de route komen. Verder typisch Kempens landschap, zoals je het ook in Herentals op de Kempense heuvelrug kan terugvinden, maar dan met meer hoogteverschil. Makelijk beloopbaar parcours met grotendeels bredere zandpaden.
