Tips

Hiking

Here the valley of the Zwarte Beek is wide; boardwalks allow you to walk through it and the ends, sometimes marshy and sometimes with heather, are full of fauna and flora. The red walking route is a must in spring for lovers of celandine, wood anemones, marsh marigolds and busy animals, from deer and woodpeckers to frogs.

Hiking

To explore the Zwarte Beek Valley, you need to visit the De Watersnip Visitor Centre. Various signposted walking routes start here. The nature reserve is at its most beautiful in spring, and on weekends and public holidays you can explore the stream valley on the floating boardwalk. Large parts of the former Kempen stream landscape have been preserved in the area; the alternation of hayfields, pastures and woods make it exceptionally beautiful.
