    Hiking

    Since April 2019, Demer water has once again flowed through the meander in Vinkenberg between Diest and Scherpenheuvel-Zichem. It is the first of 30 historical meanders that will be connected back to the Demer in the coming years. A historic moment.
    The works are part of the Demer Valley Sigma project and implement the integrated vision of Demervallei and Laak, which was signed during the 2016 Demer Day.

    Hiking

    Here in April 2019 the very first meander was reconnected to the Demer, in Vinkenberg, between Scherpenheuvel-Zichem and Diest. An information board a little further tells you about it, you can of course see the connection. There is also a weir.
