Hike Tervuren arboretum – Duisburg – Vossem (loop 18 km)
Details
For this hike we will stay around Brussels and discover a part of the Tervuren Arboretum (The Nord-West Americain, the Asian and the mediteranian part) before leaving the forest and walking through the fields passing by the villages Duisburg and Vossem before returning to Tervuren
After the hike we will continue our good habit of taking a nice beer/ice cream/snack in a local pub in Tervuren (Chalet Vert) before we return to Brussels.
Please don't forget to pay Maikel a drink :-)
We will walk at an average speed of 5km/h. We will walk both on paved and unpaved roads. I’ve never walked this road before, so it’s possible there are some mistakes in the planning.
●●meeting point:
We meet at 12h30 at the tram stop “QUATRE BRAS/VIER ARMEN” in Tervuren (Tram Line 44 from Montgomery). The tram 44 from “Montgomery” to “Tervuren Station” goes every 15 min.

●● Basic rules
Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change update your RSVP latest 1 day before the hike so other people still have the possibility to join. This is basic courtesy towards others. People who cancel last day or don’t show up for the hike will be blacklisted for future hikes. Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the roster (i.e. “yes RSVP”, but not “wait listed”).
