Vallei van de Itterbeek - black - 4,8 km
The hiking area Vallei van de Itterbeek is very diverse. This route is wheelchair accessible and lets you discover a part of the small-scale area 'De Brand', with its fields and wooded edges.
Extensive description CloseThe hiking area is a place of contrasts with, on one hand, the vast fields at the foot of the Kempens Plateau and, on the other, the small-scale landscape of De Brand in Voorshoven. Hike past the charming villages of Opitter and Tongerlo or explore along 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 springtime, De Brand feels like a tropical rainforest as the mysterious tree frogs try to outcall each other. Agriculture, nature, and water alternate. KempenBroek at its best!
