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.
