After a full day rain the weather forcast was promising and we took to the N8 where we parked our car 2 km from OLV Lombeek. Bus 128 brought us to Ninove and the train to Zandbergen. At first we went south with the sun shining in the eyes. The wet surfaces were shiny and the muddy paths took most of our attention. It was a real mix as well in the sense of the scenery as well the trail itself. App. 50% was surfaced and more or less than 20% of the trail was shaded by trees. Although houses were all around us it was remarkle quiet and the sound of tyres speeding on the concrete was seldom heart.
The marked GR stretch was 19,5 km. But from OLV Lombeek to the car took another 5 km.
We climbed 244 m with the highest elevation at 94 m and the lowest 42 m.
