The Oude Mombeek flows centrally in this nature reserve. The Nieuwe Mombeek flows parallel to this lowest-lying brook, which is often dry, close to the steep northern valley flank. Both streams flow in an asymmetrical valley: the northern slope is much steeper than the southern one. On the plateau (watershed Mombeek basin and that of the Demer) that borders the northern slope, is the highest point of the municipality of Hasselt: the NOK. From there you can see the tower of the Tongeren basilica in clear weather. On the west side of the express road, the Mombeek joins the Herk.

Beautiful walk with wide variety. Bat trails, forests, open plains, streams, ...
Also worth walking with children.
