ディーペンベークのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Nice crossing over the Demer

It might be easier to ride across it than to push your bike.

The name Mombeek comes from Molenbeek. So, quite a few watermills once stood along this stream, which was only 23 kilometers long—or short. There were no fewer than 13 in total. Nearby, you'd find the Luimertingen Mill, the Bombroek Mill, the Root Mill, and the Wimmertingen Mill, among others. Some are still heritage sites. The (former) course of the Mombeek forms the border between Diepenbeek and Kortessem. Source: Natuurpunt information board

Official starting point of the Nietelbroeken Blue Walk. The GR Loonse Route also passes here. The picturesque café nearby is no longer a café. - Natuurpunt Walk: https://www.natuurpunt.be/natuurgebieden/nietelbroeken - Nietelbroeken Blue Arrow: https://www.wandeleninlimburg.be/nl/wandellus/nietelbroeken-blauwe-pijl-215

The Mombeek stream flows through the nature reserve. It rises in the Tongeren district of Widooie and flows into the Herk stream in Sint-Lambrechts-Herk. The distance between its source and mouth is approximately 23 km. In recent years, several nature reserves have been established in the Mombeek valley, the largest of which is Nietelbroeken. The stream valley consists of meadows, marshes, swamp forests, and scrub. (Natuurpunt)

This is the starting point for a walk through the Nietelbroeken. There's a picnic table, information boards, and a map of the walk. Parking is also available here.

This boardwalk helps you avoid mud and puddles. And it's still pleasant to walk on.

A sturdy picnic table that any hiker can use whenever they need it. The view varies depending on the season.
