Passerelle van Caestert - yellow circle - 13,6 km
This yellow route offers a lot of variety and elevation. You will hike the Thier de Lanaye, one of the steep slopes of the Belgian part of the Sint-Pietersberg. Here, you can spot the entrances of underground limestone quarries, woodlands, and grasslands. The limestone provides a rich color palette in the summer, with Orchis and other flowers and herbs.
