In the Nietelbroeken, you'll be standing with your feet in the water almost year-round. And that's not surprising, as this nature reserve is located in the heart of the humid Haspengouw region; the Mombeek stream has shaped the landscape... Boots recommended!

Starting points:
- Het Klein Caféeke, Nietelbroekstraat 2, 3590 Diepenbeek
- Starting point Nietelbroeken, Herbroekstraat 31, 3720 Kortessem-Hasselt
