Tips

June 6, 2025

One of several sections of boardwalk. The first, of which this is part, runs through the swamp forest of the Abeek valley. The Abeek is a tributary of the Meuse but it rises on the Kempens Plateau. The Meuse valley is a lot bigger than the Abeek valley where we are here. In this section, therefore, typical swamp forest with a swamp where the stream is allowed to overflow its banks and the valley serves as a water storage. It is also called a through-flow swamp. The advantage for enthusiasts: even in drier periods it never gets bone dry here, although there was now a lot to walk on without needing the boardwalk. The vegetation is also typical with, among other things, willow, alder, reed, marsh marigold and yellow iris. Willow and alder also mean drops on your neck in this period :)

The boardwalk near Bocholt is a special walking route that takes you through the beautiful nature reserve of the Maas valley. The boardwalk is a raised wooden path that winds through the marsh and the wet grasslands.
