Here you actually hike up over a hill. Interestingly, as you cross, there is a small, natural swamp landscape with lots of interesting plants right in front of you.

Hiking

On the Mechelse Heide plateau lies a small marshland surrounded by heathland and open grasslands. The marsh is an important ecosystem for amphibians, insects, and waterfowl, and forms a unique contrast with the surrounding dry sand dunes and heathlands.

Visitors can observe the marsh from the surrounding walking paths, which offer a peaceful and atmospheric view of this special natural area within the reserve.
