    The Mechelse Heide is the perfect gateway to explore on foot. From mid-August to mid-September, the blooming heather transforms this landscape into a purple painting. Unlike at the other entrance gates, you will not find a visitor reception here. Nature speaks for itself!

    Once you have managed the 10% incline, there is a great view of the Kikbeekbron at a rest area.
