De Teut in Zonhoven, together with Ten Haagdoorn in Houthalen-Helchteren, forms an extensive nature reserve of more than 1700 hectares and can call itself the largest heathland in Central Limburg. The variety of stream valleys, fens, dunes, forests, fields and heathland invite you for a pleasant visit. So put on your walking shoes, jump on your bike or discover this beautiful piece of nature on horseback. Thanks to industrious sheep, the heathland splendor is preserved.
