Smeetshof - Wijffelterbroek - red - 6,9 km

Did you know that the Smeetshof once formed part of a 5,000 ha cross-border swamp together with the Dutch Wijffelterbroek? The landscape was extensively cultivated at the end of the last century. In 2003, the restoration of the swamp began. The Smeetshof nature development project created new swamp areas, heathland restoration, ponds with amphibians, and wet and dry grasslands with scattered groves. Vantage points, bird hides, and boardwalks offer you a unique view of this surprising part of KempenBroek. You hike between Belgium and the Netherlands, through woodlands, swamps, meadows, and streams.
