    The Kalmthoutse Heide is one of the oldest and largest nature reserves in Flanders. It's a rare example of the once-vast European heathland. During your hike, you can discover numerous rare animal and plant species. Lace up your hiking boots and be amazed by this Kempen gem. On sunny days, it can get very busy.

      The Kalmthoutse Heide is a valuable relic of the once vast Kempen heath landscape. The total surface area is 1,830 ha, of which 861 ha is a 'state nature reserve', managed by the Waters en Bossen board. The heathland stretches around the central dune system, with here and there smaller sand hills, the whole 'speckled' with a few larger and smaller fens and enclosed by a belt of extensive pine forests that, as it were, worm a buffer zone against the never-ending building frenzy.

        Just stroll through the dunes of the vast heathland.
