The walk starts at Horst Castle, the home of cartoon character De Rode Ridder. Through an open landscape it goes in the direction of Troostemberg forest. After a detour through this beautiful beech forest, a descent to the green valley from the Winge stream to the Gempe mill begins. Along rolling fields with beautiful views of the Hageland Hills, it goes back to the starting point.

The green valley of the Winge stream.
You depart from the castle of Horst and walk along one of the fish ponds of the domain. You walk through an open landscape in the direction of the Troostemberg forest, which you can already see far away. After a short climb you walk through this dry slope forest with beautiful beech trees. From dry to wet then, the valley of the Winge stream. You go through a fairly wet area, where the vegetation has completely changed, to the Gempemolen. This watermill is also a pleasant brasserie where walkers are very welcome. From there you continue through an open rolling landscape, past fields in the direction of the picturesque Saint Joseph's chapel, along the way you have beautiful views.
