Distance: 15 km
Time: 3 hours 40 minutes
Spring is just such a great time to do long walks. We were very lucky with the weather this Saturday, too - no rain, not too warm, and not too sunny. Perfect walking weather. We set off from the village of Nieuwrode, a rural community in the Hageland region, which meant rolling hills, lots of orchards and vinyards would be on our path. The countryside is idyllic at this time of year:
We passed many orchards with young apple trees; the blossoms were in full bloom:
There is a great network of paths through this area.
Finally we ended up making our way through a series of vinyards. More and more wine is being produced in the Hageland area. I'm going to have to buy some and do some taste testing!
A chapel out in the field, dedicated to Saint Joseph;
could he be the patron saint of wine?
Tired but happy we completed 15 kilometers!

That looks like a beautiful hike, and the last photo of you both at the end is lovely.
Great and beautiful hike. And yes the weather was perfect for hiking last Saturday. We had the same idea as you already now :) I want to try a 15K walk next month with Bella. The longest distance we have done is 12K.
Great walk in a beautiful place. Wonderful idea to take pictures: nice memories during .... winter time.
Everything looks so lush and green. And those paths look so inviting.
Beautiful.
Counting hikes got too confusing for me. Maybe I should have started making notches on a stick or something.
