When you walk along the stream, you hear the babbling sound of the flowing water in the Beerze Valley. My mind drifts to babbling brooks and streams in mountainous terrain. Wonderful!!

The fish ladder in the Beerze river was constructed to allow fish to move freely up the stream again. The system consists of fourteen low basalt steps, where the water makes a short drop at each step, then forms a resting basin. This allows species such as chub, stone loach, stickleback, and spined loach to swim gradually against the current without becoming exhausted. The fish ladder is part of the broader stream restoration project for the Beerze river. This restoration has returned the stream to a more natural, meandering course, allowing the current, riparian zones, and the ecosystem to function as they once did. The fish ladder prevents height differences or old weirs from forming barriers and ensures that fish once again have access to their spawning grounds upstream. This is an interesting point for hikers because it clearly demonstrates how nature conservation and water management converge: a practical structure that has a direct impact on biodiversity in the Beerze valley.

During the summer months, the heat in our desert increases significantly. At this time, Lommel is the hottest place in Flanders!

Beautiful route with diversity and nice highlights

People with reduced mobility can reach the lower platform of the tower via an inclined plane. (Municipality of Lommel)

This 30-meter-high observation tower has three platforms that offer you a wide view of the surroundings.

Beautiful nature reserve and very special walking area! Well worth a visit
