This was the first hike this year. We like to spend as much time in nature as possible. In 10 years our environment will probably have changed a lot.
This time we walked the GR 579 from Bossut to Huldenberg. Simone and I took the Lijn bus number 344 at 10.20 in Huldenberg and arrived 30 minutes later at the familiar bus terminal in Hamme Mille. From there it is a 3 km hike through the fields to the starting point at Bossut village. The once muddy roads were solidly frozen allowing a better pace than at previous walks around here. There was little sun but the abcense of rain made it perfect hiking weather.
The total distance on the GR was 13 km with a variety of plains and woods. This hike is beautiful but not advisable on a hot summer day. We enjoyed this trip.
Total trip length: 16,5 km. Total distance hill up: 140 m.
Personal rating: ***
