Our small country is a patchwork of small-scale nature reserves that overlap and influence each other, and that is also the case here. You are in the Mombeek valley, a stone's throw from Spoorwegzate and the Sint-Annabeek valley. From Opleeuw, a unique grassland hill bends towards Kerniel. Impoverished grass and hay fields of, among other things, glossy oat, marsh marigold and blue grass are in full development here and will attract various plants, including colourful orchids. Finally, note the high-stem orchards of Zammelen, the sloping forest and the many springs. In any case, there are enough information boards along the way to learn and read all about it. In short: variety galore. More about the Mombeek valley, the central area at this location, can be found at natuurpunt.be/natuurgebieden/mombeekvallei

In agricultural South Limburg, near the division between Dry and Moist Haspengouw, a tiny church village, Zammelen, is located on top of a slope, surrounded by a valuable piece of nature. Here in the Mombeek valley is an area that amazes you at any time of the year with its exceptionally rich and exceptionally varied nature. The nature reserve has the same name as the village on top of the slope: Zammelen. Here you can see the best of what the Mombeek has in store: a beautiful variety of ponds, standard orchards, hillside and swamp forests in the vicinity of the winding Mombeek. A wooded gorge is the old railway from Tongeren to Sint-Truiden that now functions as a cycle path.
