Day hikes around Geraardsbergen in the Flemish Ardennes

Located in the western Belgian region of East Flanders, the Flemish Ardennes offer ample hiking opportunities, especially near the picturesque town of Geraardsbergen.

We will meet up in the morning at a predetermined location in the lovely little city before heading out into the verdant meadows and rolling hills of the surrounding countryside.

There are plenty of options for us to choose from for all sorts of hikes. Depending on what you are up for, we could go for a short hike of only a few kilometers or a much longer one.

The Zwalmbronnen or ‘Zwalm springs’ is one of many popular hikes from which we could choose. Lasting for about nine kilometers, this route crosses numerous little streams, which form the upper part of the Zwalm.

The route boasts plenty of greenery and the option to see some of Belgium’s local flora and fauna. All of our certified guides are locals and are very familiar the terrain on which you will be hiking.

If you are up for something a bit longer, then the Kartuizer hiking route is just what you are looking for. Lasting between 10 and 14 kilometers, this route takes us from the outskirts of Geraardsbergen and out onto picturesque rural roads with stunning views of the surroundings.

Along this route, we would pass through several villages as well, allowing us to see what life is like in this idyllic region on Belgium.

Another option is Kordaal hiking route, which lasts for about three to six kilometers. This route takes us through the ‘Kordaalbos’ natural reserve. As we hike through this forested area, crossing little streams, we will have an excellent chance to see some local flora and fauna too.

So what are you waiting for? Book now and join one of our local, certified guides for an amazing day of hiking through the picturesque scenery of the Flemish Ardennes!
