A beautiful bridge over the Grote Nete river, not far from Merode Castle. You must cross the bridge to continue along the Grote Nete.

A bridge provides a connection between two banks. Usually a bridge is over water: a ditch, a canal, moat, river, lake, ravine, ...

Beautiful and nice bridge over the fen, with a wonderful view...

Walking path over the top of an inland dune.

Nice spot just off the cycle path.

Het Zwart Water is a nature reserve southwest of the town of Lichtaart, which is part of the Antwerp municipality of Kasterlee, located near Lavendelweg 1-3. The area is managed by the Agency for Nature and Forests. The area is located on the Kempense Heuvelrug and consists of a fen that used to be in a drifting sand and heathland area, but was largely forested with conifers during the 19th century. On the edge of the fen you will find bog myrtle thickets, willow swamp forest and poor grassland. There is a floating dome in the fen that forms a safe resting place for birds. The forest is gradually being transformed into more mixed forest. In addition, there are remnants of heathland.

Apparently the Kapucienenberg (highest dune) is one of the only two places in Flanders where rake wasps still live. Information on sign.

Definitely worth it. Perhaps a little busier than other sand dune areas due to the recreational facilities, but beautiful to see, here too. Very nice views with some nice forest slopes and those beautiful irregularly shaped trees that you expect in dune landscapes in this region. Very nice to start and end with.
