Millen - red arrow - 3,6 km
This hike immerses you in the atmosphere of a typical Haspengouw agricultural village. Thanks to the fertile loam soil, agriculture was the only source of income here well into the twentieth century. The hike runs entirely over paved roads.
Extensive description CloseMillen is a prime example of a typical Haspengouw agricultural village. A belt of tall-stemmed orchards formed a protective band around the village in the 19th and 20th centuries. These orchards were ideal grazing areas for the livestock. Old holloways connect monumental farmsteads with the fields located higher up. In Millen, you can find more than 40 farmsteads, of which about 30 have since been repurposed. Such a compact village core surrounded by orchards and fields is characteristic of dry Haspengouw. The open landscape guarantees stunning panoramas.
