    The camino between Holland and France - part 6

    I still have 20 days of vacation to spend this year so I decided to walk the Via Brabantica in stages. This means I take the train/bus till the start point and take another train/bus back home after the walk. A few days later I start walking where I stopped earlier. I started in Zandvliet just...

    Starting the camino in BRUSSELS (Belgium)

    The split of the camino at the O.L.V. van Goede Bijstandskerk, ("5" on the previous map) is marked with a double shell on the ground. It's placed somewhere at the picture on post #26 where the text "Report a problem" is written. I just looked again in Google StreetView and the shells are not...

    Hello, I found this very interesting leaflet. It's available in The Sint Gorikshallen (www.sintgorikshallen.be) for free. Just enter the building between 10:00 and 18:00, walk over the cafe part and at the end, you will see a desk. The brochures are standing in front of the desk, some left, some...

    Starting the camino in BRUSSELS (Belgium)

    For the moment I'm reading the book GR12 from Bergen Op Zoom - Braine le Chateau It's edition 2002. I heard the path is actually the same today. The path is long because it makes a lot of zigzags. From Bergen Op Zoom till Antwerpen-Rivierenhof = 62,6km Antwerpen Rivierenhof is not the centre of...

    Starting the camino in BRUSSELS (Belgium)

    Hello Fatma, Meanwhile, I already saw how the GR from Antwerpen goes into Brussels. And you are right. It comes from the North, in fact from the Atomium, and it makes a kind of curve at the boarder between 1000-Brussels and 1210-St-Josse-Ten-Noode. So it enters 1000-Brussels on the Leuvenseweg...

    Starting the camino in BRUSSELS (Belgium)

    Now I see which church. This must be the one. The camino shell must be on the wall where I drew the red circle. Google didn't pass in the street in front of the church. I have to check. And if someone is one day in Brussels during the lunch break or may be at the weekend, we can do the Brussels...

    Starting the camino in BRUSSELS (Belgium)

    Hello Fatma, Meanwhile, here are some other interesting pictures I took last Friday. Behind the cathedral, there is an important GR cross. The direction to the right Ukkel -Paris-Rocroi is pointing to the front of the cathedral (picture 3) and goes to the Grand Place. It make sense that this...

    Starting the camino in BRUSSELS (Belgium)

    Hello Kathy, Thank you for your feedback and thank you to post some other pictures. Next time I'm in Antwerp, I will look to the ground. Looking to the pavement, I think you took the picture close to the cathedral. Meanwhile, in Brussels I found the next marker close to the Kapellekerk/église la...
