Legendes langs de Maas

The hiking booklet leads you along the floodplain of the river Maas in Uikhoven. You can reach large dikes and roads of abandoned fields. It gives the wonderful flora and fauna, with typical valleys of the Meuse. You you face a beautiful and picturesque village of centres. But most importantly, you should enjoy a piece rich in folklore, typical of the Maasmechelse Church Kotem and Uikhoven villages. Five legends are essential in the brochure. You can find them on the panels of information along the route. It is also worth to make a small loop or the trail 7 km walk to work.

Hiking : Mechelse Heide

None of the Gateways to the National Park are so adapted to hiking as the ‘Mechelse Heide’. The north side of the road between ‘As’ and ‘Maasmechelen’ (‘J. Smeetslaan’) will take you through a nice forest area, while the south side mainly consists of heather and will take you to some of the highest points of the ‘Hoge Kempen’. You can even see as far as Germany. Due to the difference in height, some of the routes are considered moderate to heavy walking. But it is well worth the effort, since these hikes will take you to some of the most beautiful patches of heather in the region (‘Mechelse Heide’ or ‘Kikbeekbron’). All the hiking routes fall within the boundaries of the National Park

Wandelgebied Kattevennen

The hiking routes starting at ‘Kattevennen’ are the ideal connection between the centre of Genk and the National Park. The vast pine forests are an excellent environment for an intensive walk. Due to the presence of the Botanical Park, the sundials of the ‘Molenvijver’ park and the Path of the Planets, it is also an educational trip.

Examples of possible trips are: following a “wooden plank path”, hiking to the ‘ecoveloduct’ (an ecoduct for both fauna and cyclists), and many more.

Op stap met een Ranger

All of this is possible under the guidance of a Ranger of the ‘Hoge Kempen’ National Park. They will welcome you to the only National Park in Flanders. In small groups, the Rangers of the ‘Hoge Kempen’ National Park will take you on a relaxing or active, but always surprising discovery of the ‘Hoge Kempen’. They want to show recreationists, nature lovers, schools, companies and youngsters a pleasant time in nature by teaching them how to enjoy nature in a playful yet durable manner and by informing them on the possibilities of natural recreation.

Ten Haagdoorn

This unique nature area of 800 ha with moorland, woods, inland dunes, ponds and moors is located alongside the Laambeek and on the Kempen plateau

In the reserve you can get a dose of healthy energy for hours in an unspoilt nature area. Perhaps along the way you will come across the flock of sheep: it supports nature management in the area.

A map with marked walking paths is available from VVV-Toerisme Houthalen-Helchteren.

The reserve can be accessed throughout the year from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset.

Admission is free. Naturally you may not walk outside of the paths.

Your dog is welcome too, but only on a lead so as not to chase the flock of sheep, not to disturb the wild animals and not to hinder other visitors.
