Tips

June 30, 2023

Together with the Valley of the Stiemerbeek, De Maten forms a nature reserve that is part of De Wijers and is located on the territory of Genk, Hasselt and Diepenbeek. Many water features and water birds, but also a lot of heathland and beautiful pieces of forest. Water mill De Slagmolen will be completely renovated in 2024 to form a modern and complete visitor center for the nature reserve.

De Maten is located in the plain at the foot of the Kempen plateau. The alternation between dry dunes, heathland and ponds provides a large and fascinating wealth of plants and animals. When the ponds are dry, a typical vegetation develops with floating water plantain, needle water rush, glass ducks, egg-shaped water rush... This area is important for birds such as bittern, wood monkey, great egret, marsh harrier and gadwall. You will also find the tree frog and the garlic toad, two amphibians with a special way of life.
