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.
