Castle parks Halle- and Vrieselhof.
The walk starts in the beautiful castle park Hallehof. You go around the pond and past the castle to the valley of the Groot Schijn. You enter the Halse woods via a wide dirt road. You reach the canal at the rear of Fort van Oelegem via beautiful forest roads and small forest paths. From here it continues to the castle domain Vrieselhof. You go around the castle to a special field with gale and heather and on a newly constructed plank path. Suddenly you are at the front of Fort van Oelegem. You will now follow the Antitankgracht for a while and then walk back through mixed forest to the Hallehof, where you will pass an impressive old Atlas cedar.
