Dorpswandeling Sint-Lievens-Esse - Through Sint-Lievens-Esse with the time machine

Anyone who thinks that Esse is only the village where Livinus lost his head in 657 is wrong. We take you to a quiet rural area around the core of Esse with beautiful walking paths. For many, unknown territory, but this was not always so. Not only were artifacts found there dating from the middle Neolithic period, but also the remains of a Roman villa. All this located close to the Hof ter Erpen, the oldest mention of which dates back to 972. Further on the walk, we linger along the Qualap and walk to the Watermeuleken in the Slakkendriesbos. In the distance, we see the Hof te Middelerpen and the castle of Woubrechtegem. A vineyard, a chapel, a place where the fortress of Esse once stood, are part of the walk. A walk through time: From the Neolithic period, the Romans, and the Middle Ages, back to our world. Practical info :- Distance: +/- 6 km- Note: not buggy and wheelchair accessible
