Hiking
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 contains marshy thickets, with a number of herbs. Prominently present are the yellow loosestrife, common loosestrife and meadowsweet. Hoverflies and longhorn beetles can be seen when they seek nectar on the umbels of the giant hogweed and the angelica. Furthermore, species of butterflies, dragonflies, ladybirds and amphibians can be found.
The Stiemerbeek flows along the edge of the Kempens Plateau and is quite deeply incised there. Springs can be found in the sloping banks. Although the stream has been straightened, the plots along the stream represent high natural values.
