If you step into the Hoge Kempen National Park at the mine and slag heap of Waterschei, you are actually walking in and around various nature reserves. A nature reserve where a lot of work is still being done is the Stiemerbeek valley. On this information board you can read all about it and you stand between various pools. The Stiemerbeek rises nearby, at the mining site, and forms this valley before flowing into the Demer. By the way, you are on the territory of As, instead of Waterschei.

The Stiemerbeek valley forms a link between the Bosbeek and the De Maten nature reserve.
