Hiking

The Doode Bemde is a nature reserve of almost 300 hectares. It is located on both sides of the Dyle on the territory of Oud-Heverlee, Sint-Joris-Weert, Neerijse (Huldenberg) and Korbeek-Dijle (Bertem). The Dyle still has its original meanders here and can regularly overflow its banks. This ensures a wide variety of biotopes. It is the largest private nature reserve in Flemish Brabant. The name of the nature reserve can be easily explained. 'Dead' refers to the unsuitability of the land for farmers. A 'Bemde' is a moist grassland.

Even beyond the banks of the Dyle, there is plenty of water...
