Vallei van de Itterbeek - green - 2,2 km
The hiking area Vallei van de Itterbeek is very versatile and diverse. This short circular route takes you past meadows, fields, and homes. You also pass by the charming educational reserve of the 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 side 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 process of brewing beer in the brewery in Opitter. With some luck, you might spot the kingfisher or the yellowhammer, and in spring, you’ll feel like you’re in De Brand in a tropical rainforest when the mysterious tree frogs try to outcall each other. Agriculture, nature, and water alternate. KempenBroek at its best!
