Malakoff tower area hiking

Join us for a beautiful hike in the surroundings of the Malakoff tower built in 1855.
We will follow the Boardwalk trail (a stepped club path) and will see the beautiful Berendries and the sequoias in Hallerbos.
We will also see a beautiful mill from 1226 and a pillory erected in 1521 in blue stone by Maxilien de Hornes, chamberlain to Emperor Charles.
So definitely quite an historic hike !

This hike is 16 km long and we will walk to a relatively slow pace (4 km per hour). Count 5 hours in total including the lunch break.

Bring a picnic !

Meeting point: BRAINE-LE-CHATEAU Pilori, 1440 Braine-le-Château.
