With its 16 hectares, De Duivelskuil is a rather small but very varied nature reserve. It treats you to a characteristic Kempen landscape. In addition to dry heathland and wet heathland, you will also find some beautiful fens and a piece of bog bog. A moist alder-birch forest and a dry oak-birch forest and also a lot of Scots pine.

Hiking

Popularly, the pools are called "devil's pits," referring to so-called ancient pagan practices from "pre-Christian" cultures that are said to have occurred around these pits. The fact is that amateur archaeologists made finds near the devil's pits in the early 20th century, which indicate the presence of prehistoric burial fields.
