Hiking

The Warmbeek has a reasonable structural quality from the Zuid-Willemsvaart but still had a straightened and deepened route at the Achelse Kluis in Achel. With the re-meandering in 2022, the Warmbeek became approximately 700m longer. With this, VMM restored the natural water storage in the valley and typical stream habitats for a species-rich fauna and flora were created. This area functions again as a floodable valley that buffers extra water and therefore contributes to a climate-robust landscape.

Hiking

In 2022, the re-meandering of the Warmbeek at the Achelse Kluis was completed over a length of approximately 1.7 kilometres. The objectives are the same as for almost all re-meandering and can be read on the information board. You can see the results.
