With this Treinstapper from Grote Routepaden, you cross Mechelen along the river Dijle and explore the green surroundings around the historic city.
With the Treinstapper Hever-Eppegem, you explore Mechelen and its green surroundings along the banks of the rivers Dijle and Zenne. On dry paths through wetland areas and along the meandering Dijle, you traverse the green environment to the vibrant Mechelen. This route breathes history and culture. You pass by Flemish Masters in centuries-old churches, along beautiful historical facades, but also in shady parks. In the Vrijbroekpark, you explore the Hotelruin which was partially arranged for bats, salamanders, and other animals that have lived in the abandoned ‘haunted hotel’ since the 1970s.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Tips and suggestions
If you want to spend more time in the vibrant Mechelen or if 22.8 km is too much for one hiking day, make it a two-day trip and stay in a former church converted into a luxurious hotel, in a former interwar hospital, in a unique brewery hotel, at a place that once was a fish smokehouse and cigar factory, or take a nap in the old city swimming pool in Mechelen.
