Vallei van de Itterbeek - blue - 4,2 km
The hiking area Vallei van de Itterbeek is surprisingly versatile and diverse. This short hike near the center of Bree takes you past woodlands, fields, scattered farmsteads, and the charming Vlasroterbeek.
Extensive description CloseThe hiking area is a place of contrasts with on one side the vast fields at the foot of the Kempens Plateau and on the other the small-scale landscape of De Brand in Voorshoven. Hike through the charming villages of Opitter and Tongerlo or explore along the Zuid-Willemsvaart. Let yourself be surprised by the many watermills or the brewing process in the brewery in Opitter. With a bit of luck, you might spot the kingfisher or the yellowhammer, and in spring, you will feel like you are in a tropical rainforest in De Brand when the mysterious tree frogs try to outcall each other. Agriculture, nature, and water alternate. KempenBroek at its best!
