Tips for trips in the Hageland

Hageland, walking country

To the east of Leuven lies the magnificent Hageland. This region offers unspoiled scenery and sleepy villages as well as six dynamic provincial towns. Hageland is a walker’s paradise with many well-signposted walks. You can also explore the interconnecting network of bicycle paths, passing by courtyard farms and Roman “tumuli”. Horst Castle, proudly standing guard in the middle of a lake, is on the same network. And the children? They are already splashing around in the open-air swimming pool of the provincial areas in Kessel-Lo and Diest. Or is nature more your cup of tea? In Zoutleeuw the natural habitat is mirrored in Het Vinne lake, a unique ecological creation!
