The hiking area Vallei van de Itterbeek is very versatile and diverse. This hike takes you from Tongerlo to Opitter or vice versa. You hike along the Itterbeek and the Zuid-Willemsvaart, which you cross on one side via the footbridge.

Extensive description Close

The hiking area is a region 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 of Opitter and Tongerlo or explore the Zuid-Willemsvaart. Let yourself 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 will feel like you are in De Brand at times in a tropical rainforest when the mysterious tree frogs try to outdo each other with their calls. Agriculture, nature, and water alternate. KempenBroek at its best!
