Hiking

In the Abeek Valley you can still find some of the most beautiful alder swamp forests in Flanders. In the spring they turn yellow with marsh marigolds. A boardwalk ensures that your feet stay dry.

Freely accessible on the paths all year round.
Boots or sturdy walking shoes recommended.
Dogs welcome, on a leash.
Signposted routes start at the church of Ellikom.

Hiking

The Abeek Valley is a beautiful nature reserve that stretches along the meandering Abeek and its surrounding grasslands, marshes and forests. This varied landscape is a refuge for many special animals and plants, such as the brook lamprey, the kingfisher and various rare orchids. Walking and cycling paths allow you to explore this unspoilt piece of nature in a peaceful way, while enjoying the changing landscape and rich biodiversity.
