Dog walking in Genk and Limburg

Around Genk and Limburg there is room for real outdoor days — think Kattevennen & omgeving, Bos- en heideroutes Kempen, De Wijers (water & natuur), Groene zones rond Genk-centrum. That mix of open space, sniffing and movement is what our group outings are built for.

For owners in Genk and surroundings (Genk, Houthalen-Helchteren, Zutendaal, As) we're gauging demand for group day trips with home pickup. Once enough dogs are close together, we plan a fixed pickup route — until then, every signup counts.
