About
Trail On foot of 24 km to be discovered at Flanders, Limburg, Maasmechelen. This trail is proposed by National Park Trail.
Description
Just like the previous stage, this one runs from south to north across the edge of the Kempen Plateau. Here coniferous forests prevail over heathland. The hike starts with a literal and figurative highlight: climbing the slag heaps of the former Eisden coal mine. Further north you get to know Bergerven, where gravel extraction created a waterfowl area. Finally, you will discover the Bosbeek valley, ending up in the village of Opoeteren.
