Hiking

This is not really a shelter but just the covered building between the parking and entrance where you will find just about all the information boards you may need. There is a picnic table and lake (uncovered). If the weather is bad you can of course take shelter here, but you are close to your car if you came with it. A kilometer further in the park is also a place where you can hide.

Hiking

Here you will find a large information board about the Mechelse Heide and Hoge Kempen National Park, together with maps of both areas in the covered construction between the car park and the entrance.
