Beautiful nature reserve to walk through. Pure nature, enjoying the beautiful birdsong in the greenery with the occasional other hikers you meet on your path. Wonderful… completely zen 🤗

Hiking

Beautiful piece of nature. Ideal connection between Zichem village and the viewpoint on the "Voortberg" (Testelt). During this walk you can also see the church of Averbode Abbey in the distance.

Hiking

The Demerbroeken form an extensive piece of nature in the broad valley of the Demer, between Testelt, Zichem, Averbode and Diest.The area was mainly used as hay land and peat cutters also made their appearance, witness beautiful remains in the form of fens and quaking bogs. The Agency for Nature and Forest and Natuurpunt vzw worked together in the Demerbroeken on the development of the extensive nature reserve.
