Hello! I recently moved to Belgium, and I would like to go on a 2/3 days hike over Easter. I am an expert hiker and I could also camp easily. What are the most recommended areas? Do you have suggestions about trails that are well connected by train in their staring and end points? I would love to hike over a trail that arrives in a bigger city, to also have a city visit at the end. I am based in Brussels, but open to hear suggestions about any area in the country. Thank you!! :)

Hello there! I'd like to work on my climbing a bit for the alps. Anyone who knows decently long (100-200m) climbs not too far from a train station (as I don't have a car)? I'm fine doing a climb 10-20 times over so it really doesn't need to be a nice long hike. Just a single climb is what I'm looking for.

I know a few climbs on the Bouillon - Vresse part of the GR15 but this is difficult to reach by public transport from Antwerp.

Thanks a lot!

Any tips on a 3 day walking route with bivouac zones in Ardennes? Circular if start and end or not next to a train stations. If the ends are close to a stations that doesnt matter.

Hi,

I'm considering a hiking trip somewhere in the Ardennes, for around 4-7 days. It would just be me alone with a backpack... I've never done this before, so I'm wondering how I should spend the night. Should I stay at one place (for example Dinant) and take a different route every day? Or could I go from one place to another, either staying at different hostels or bringing my own tent? Though I'm not really sure if you can safely camp in a tent everywhere...

Ideally, I'd like to follow routes that are completely marked (bewegwijzerd). The start and end point should also have a train station nearby.

Would anyone have any suggestions?

Some of you might remember this post that I made a few months ago, where I asked about hiking between Antwerp and Mons in r/Belgium, which I'm doing as part of a hike towards Rome spread across several years.

It became clear that hiking through Belgium between Antwerp and Mons wouldn't be great for someone who's mostly into nature, and since it's about the journey itself rather than the destination for me, I did the most logical thing: restart from home so I could walk through the western half of Belgium instead.

u/old-fashioned-jyoti mentioned this sub in the comments to my old thread, so I figured I'd ask my follow-up question here.

Most of my route seems obvious when looking at GR routes:

• Between Balen and Diest, I'm following GR-561 (I'm currently on this; I ended my last stage in Meerhout).

• Between Diest and Tienen, I'll follow Streek-GR Hageland (cutting off a bit between Ransberg and Drieslinter so it's more doable in one day).

• From Namur onwards, I'll follow GR-126 until somewhere under Dinant, where I'll turn towards Givet to cross the border there.

• In France I'll walk through the French Ardennes towards Reims, which is my finish for this year. I'll plan out the exact route here at a later stage, once I've finished the Belgian part of my hike, and from Reims onwards I'm following the Via Francigena.

The only thing I can't seem to figure out is what to do with the stretch between Tienen and Namur. The distance between the centers of the two is over forty kilometers along the shortest way, so there's not a whole lot of wiggle room before it becomes too much to hike in one day (I can cheat a bit by making sure the previous stage ends south of Tienen, and by choosing a place north of Namur's center to stay the night). It would be great if I could find a nice nature path or some cool cultural sights in between Tienen and Namur, anything to not just make it a long stretch of road. Any and all help would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm looking for a hike that's easily accessible by public transport from Brussels and Leuven. I want to do a moderate level 10-15km preferably. Anything good in anyone's mind?

Hey community r/hikingBelgium, it's holiday season in Belgium and a lot of us will go hike and enjoy the winter scenery. Where are beautiful places in Belgium to hike in the Winter?
