A BELGIAN woman drove for nearly 1500 kilometres through six countries before realising her car navigation system had "gone wrong". Then she had to drive all the way back.

Sabine Moreau, 67, left her home at Solre-sur-Sambre to pick up a friend from the train station at Brussels.

The journey was meant to last just 61km, but she took a wrong turn and ended up 1500km away in Zagreb, Croatia, the UK's Daily Mail reported.

It's believed she drove through France, Germany, Austria and Slovenia on the way.

She passed traffic signs in different languages and stopped to refuel her car several times and get some sleep, but didn't stop to question the TomTom sat-nav until 60 hours later when she realised she may not be in Belgium anymore.

"I saw all kinds of traffic signs. First in French, then in German - Cologne, Aachen, Frankfurt," she told a Belgian news website.

"But I didn't ask myself any questions. I was just distracted, so I kept my foot down.

"I didn't really notice anything was wrong until I suddenly arrived in Zagreb and realised that I was no longer in Belgium."

Her worried son reported her missing to police. A manhunt was called off when she phoned home to tell him she was in Croatia.

A police spokesman from Belgium said it was "an incredible story" and said the woman did nothing wrong.
