GR512 OLV Lombeek to Halle


After 1 month of clouds rain and storm the weather turned more hiker friendly.

We drove to Halle (B) and bus 163 took us in 35 munutes to OLV Lombeek.

Just south of the church we met 512 and followed the well marked trail up to 3 km north of Halle. Sometimes very muddy but otherwise very scenic paths lead us through slightly hilly terrain. Most of it was unpaved. It is not very shady but this was difficult to assess because of it being wintertime.

The whole trip covers 28,5 km of which 24 was the GR. We had no proper rest because the restaurants were all fully booked on this bright Sunday.

The lowest point was 20 m above sea level and the highest altitude 80 m. Our average speed was 4,0 km.
