Bergerven is a former gravel extraction site transformed into lakes where nature is given space again in the northernmost point of the Hoge Kempen - between Maaseik and Dilsen-Stokkem. Manager Limburgs Landschap uses large grazers to manage the area. The lakes cover more than 50 hectares of open water.

A former gravel pit has left behind a wonderful lake landscape in which nature has its say. Nice area.
