The hiking area Vallei van de Itterbeek is surprisingly diverse. It is a place of contrasts with on one hand the vast fields at the foot of the Kempens Plateau and on the other hand the small-scale landscape of De Brand in Voorshoven. Hike along the charming villages Opitter and Tongerlo or explore the Zuid-Willemsvaart. Be surprised by the many watermills or the beer brewing process at the brewery in Opitter. With some luck, you might spot the kingfisher or the yellowhammer, and in spring, you can feel like you are in a tropical rainforest in De Brand as the mysterious tree frogs try to outcall each other. Agriculture, nature, and water alternate. KempenBroek at its best! You can find more information about the hiking routes and sights in the area on the hiking map.
