In Herbeumont, Arnout Hauben sets camp on the shores of the Semois. Heading to the abbey of Orval, he enters the Gaume-region, an area with its own micro-climate. Thanks to the warmer climate, this region is perfect for viticulture. After travelling more than 500 km on the GR129, he finally arrives at his destination: the source of the Semois in Aarlen...

Overview

Straight through Belgium is a 4-part adventurous television show, created by television-creator Arnout Hauben. Together with Philippe Niclaes (camera) and Ruben Callens (drone and sound) Hauben follows the GR129, the longest signposted hiking-trail in Belgium. The trail is 500 kilometers long and goes all the way through Belgium from Bruges to Aarlen. Arnout, Philippe and Ruben go "back to basics" for this show and travel with backpack and tents. They complete the trail in 23 days, travelling about 20 km per day. Along the way, Arnout Hauben stops at several special locations with each its own story. He tells stories about Belgian history, but also about lesser-known "petites histoires".
