The Ruiterskuilen are two fens in the Ophovenerbos on the Kempens Plateau in the Belgian municipality of Opglabbeek. The fens are characterized by the brown color of the acidic water. The area is protected throughout Europe as part of a Natura 2000 area.
Like other fens in this region, the Reiterkuilen were created by sand dusting and are fed exclusively by rainwater. Archaeological research has shown that the podzol soil in the area around the Ruiterskuilen contains an important legacy from the Steen period.

In the more recent past, this fen was used as a resting place for horses. In 1798, hidden Lotlings found a suitable hiding place here.
