Hiking
The Torfbroek is a remnant of a unique marsh, fed by highly calcareous groundwater. The area consists of ponds and wet grasslands with unique plants and is part of De Groene Vallei (The Green Valley).
In 1981, it was the first nature reserve in Flanders to be recognized as such.
In 2023, development work for management and recreational co-use began. An old landfill was excavated, and the underlying avenue was visualized with a boardwalk over the Kristalvijver (Crystal Pond).
