Icon description route Description

The nature reserve De Vennen is located in the east of the municipality of Balen, between the hamlet of the same name Vennen and the Steenweg on Leopoldsburg. To the north, the nature reserve is bordered by the De Most nature reserve and the Ongelberg district, to the south by the street Schoorheide. Near De Vennen, the Grote Nete flows from Limburg (Lommel-Kerkhoven) into the province of Antwerp. At this location, the Grote Nete is only a modest river of about 3 meters wide, with a still natural meandering course.
