Munsterbos - green - 4,8 km
Nationaal Park Hoge Kempen
You start at the church of Hoelbeek. This 4.9 km route takes you past the castle ruin Jonckholt.
Extensive description CloseThe marlstone foundations of the walls and the four sturdy corner towers lay buried for centuries in the marshy soil. Jonckholt has never been built higher than what you see now: an unfinished fort hastily erected at the start of the Eighty Years' War.
