Thanks to the extraordinary location of the “house of peter Mot” you can go hiking, biking, swimming and canoeing.
Hiking
Hiking in the Hageland is splendid: there is the openness of the river-Demer-valley, the Hageland-hills and the woods which feature open fields and meadows. Here and there you will also notice some vineyards on the slopes and you can also explore the pine-woods from Langdorp up to Averbode.
The B&B Het huis van peter Mot is situated on the GR Hageland track. We have different tracks starting at the front-door and maps and full details can be supplied.
Locally, there is the “Merode” hiking network and also the “Hagelandse heuvels network” (maps are available) - both with marked tracks.
