In the Provincial Green Domain of Kesselse Heide you will discover the Kempen as it looked for a long time: a mix of scrub heather, coniferous and deciduous forest, sandy plains and fens. You will find the typical heath vegetation. The sheep ensure the preservation of this authentic landscape. The Heidepad takes you along the most beautiful spots. For children, the expansive sands are the ultimate sandbox.

In the forest area there are many old low hanging oaks: keep this in mind during the period of the oak processionary caterpillars

The Kesselse Heide is a piece of Kempen landscape as it used to be. You will see alternating shrublands and coniferous and deciduous forests, sandy plains and pools. This creates a beautiful color palette that is different, new and breathtaking every season.
Some hiking trails and a walkway wind through this rare nature.
