The Stapper Observation Tower

The tower is ten meters high and offers visitors not only a fantastic view of the Stappersven, one of the largest fens in Flanders, but also of the rest of the Kalmthoutse Heide.

Pluisven

One of the most special places on this heath: the pluisven.

Here you can hear countless frogs croaking in the summer. Please note: the path along the fen can be very soggy!
