Tips

January 24, 2025

Part of the former so-called fruit track: railway line 23 that ran from Drieslinter to Tongeren. Part of the route is now for cyclists and hikers, some more wild parts are important in the context of the surrounding nature reserves and the flora and fauna that gratefully make use of the hollowed-out and lower parts with of course the badger as a well-known example.

This is certainly the case here with the nature reserve Meersbeemden and the proximity of the Herk. As you continue towards Tongeren it rises somewhat, whereby in wet weather there can be a lot of water and flow to the deeper parts.
