Boardwalk Over the Pond at Hoeve Mieneke, Kelchterhoef

Highlight • Bridge

Be sure to step to the part of the boardwalk where there is a bench with an educational board on it that teaches and tells a lot, especially useful if you are with children.

Hoeve Mieneke

Highlight • Historical Site

Jaak Beertens, grandson of "Mieneke", was born in Hoeve Mieneke. He lived with his parents and brothers in the farm of his "grandmother" from the time of his birth in 1943 until 1952. He talks about his grandmother, but also extensively about what life in the farm was really like, down to the smallest details and with lots of memories and explanations about the different rooms in the house. Watch the video (really worth it if you want to "experience" Mieneke farm) below.

Tenhaagdoornheide Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Nature reserve Ten Haagdoorn or Ten Haagdoornheide is a nature reserve in Houthalen-Helchteren that is often mentioned in the same breath as the Teut in Zonhoven, from which it is only separated by the E314 motorway. Many walks in Tenhaagdoornheide start at the Kelchterhoef and/or Hengelhoef domains. Like the area, they are seen as gateways to De Wijers. Ten Haagdoorn mainly consists of heathland, inland dunes and water features: fens and ponds, some of which were privately owned (in the brook valley of the Laambeek and Huttebeek) but which are now being further integrated in the context of the Blue Deal. Ten Haagdoorn is approximately 800 hectares in size. Together with the Teut, the area is 1700 hectares in size. There are various areas with grazers and part of the area is occupied by a golf course. Tenhaagdoornheide has two so-called star spots: one for the marshes - more about this at komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/5923564 - and one for the heath plains that you will find at the foot of the highest inland dune in the area and what you can read more about at komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/6054037

Houthalen Abbey Farm

Highlight • Restaurant

The Houthalen Abbey Farm has its roots in the 12th or 13th century. Baron Moreau De Bellaing removed the west wing in 1851. This new, open character made passers-by curious! In 1954 the domain came into the hands of the municipality. About 15 years later it became a restaurant.
