Purple Paradise: Mechelse Heide Hike (8.5 km) – Sunday Vacations Day Trip

Details

Join us for a magical day hike through one of Belgium’s most stunning natural landscapes — the Mechelse Heide in full bloom!

💜 In August, the heathlands turn into a sea of purple. We'll explore the panoramic trail (8.5 km), enjoy wide open views, and relax together in nature.

🚌 Easily accessible by public transport from Brussels — train to Genk + short bus ride.

🥪 Pack your lunch and walking shoes (optional: barefoot shoes or sandals for soft sandy parts!)

👣 Hike level: Easy to moderate. Suitable for all who enjoy a scenic walk.
>
> 🍺 Optional group drink after the hike at Terhills lakeside café.
>
> 🎫 IMPORTANT: RSVP only if you're really joining. Spots may be limited.
>
> ✨ Let’s escape the city and connect through nature. The heath only blooms a few weeks a year — don’t miss it!
