Here you walk through a nature reserve called the Duivelskuilpad. At the beginning of the 19th century, there was a brickyard here with clamp kilns and, of course, accompanying clay pits. Now a location to relax. You can then follow the Hoge Bergenpad.

Hiking

Devil's pit is not natural. Built as a pit for dumping thousands of kilos of apples from Hoogstraten that were not sold. After the apples rotted away, a subsidence happened and the hole was formed.

Hiking

With its 16 hectares and rather small but very varied nature reserve, De Duivelskuil treats you to a characteristic Kempen landscape. In addition to dry heath and wet heath, you will find some beautiful fens here, and moist alder-birch forest, a piece of gale marsh and oak birch forest (with many Scots pines in addition to pedunculate oaks and birches).
