Hiking

The view is from the Voortberg, from the heights where a path runs. The marshes are therefore located far below, as are the pools and stream.

Hiking

From the Voortberg you have a view of the Demerbroek, despite many trees that obstruct the perfect view...

Hiking

The Demerbroeken form an extensive natural area in the wide valley of the Demer, between Testelt, Zichem, Averbode and Diest. For centuries, this landscape was used as meadowland and by peat cutters, which left its mark on the fens and quaking bogs. You walk through open grasslands, wet swamp forests and along quiet bodies of water. Author Ernest Claes also found his inspiration here. The backyard of his birth house borders the Demerbroeken.
