The trail leads you along the very diversified biotope of the (inaccessible) military domain with among others baldmoney and the whinchat, a little bird that doesn't live elsewhere in Belgium anymore. On the program: wide views, a bit of forest, lots of peace and quiet and beautiful nature. Not for prams and wheelchairs.

A huge part of the hike is not accessible in winter when there is enough snow. Hikers aren't admitted on the xc skiing tracks.
The baldmoney is to be spotted during the summer months.
