Hiking

Along the walking path flows the river AA where the Lieremansloop flows into. A little further you will discover a covered picnic bench and a few meters from there a stone slab with the text Silence is a sound here. In 2012, De Liereman was recognized as the first quiet area in the Antwerp Kempen, but fortunately it is not completely quiet here. Nature has its sounds and you can listen to them here far from the man-made noise.

Hiking

In the heart of De Liereman, the Aa River meanders like a silent guide through heathland, wet grasslands, and open valleys. This meandering stream is the lifeblood of the area and provides a surprisingly diverse natural experience.

Walk along the stream valley on soft sandy paths, enjoy expansive views, and discover how water shapes the landscape. During wet periods, the Aa subtly overflows its banks, adding dynamism and biodiversity to the area.

A flat, peaceful route – ideal for slowing down and experiencing the authentic Kempen region. Perfect for those who love peace, space, and authentic nature.
