De Kwarekken is a lower nature area that connects to the valley of the Grote Nete. As a result, the soil here is much more humid. There are therefore various marsh plants. On the slightly drier parts you will find oak, beech and pine. This is the perfect area for a 'boots' hiker.

This nature reserve is located in the Valley of the Grote Nete and is approximately 30 hectares in size. It extends between the Marly Bridge (at the Kasteel de Merode) and the Snepkens Bridge, and is located near the village center of Westerlo, along the Grote Nete, on the right bank downstream in Westerlo territory, in the formerly naturally overflowing valley of the Grote net. The Kwarekenbeek, the Laakbeek and the Zeptloop cross the area.
