Staying in Wittevrouwen
Biltstraat provides a clear route along the southern edge of Wittevrouwen, while the smaller streets lead north toward Griftpark. Use those two landmarks to judge an accommodation address: being close to Biltstraat simplifies the walk into town, while a position further north changes the journey. For a first outing, walk toward Wittevrouwenstraat and return through the residential streets rather than following the same road both ways.
