Description
The walk goes through the beautiful nature reserve 'Grote Beek'.
The Grote Beek flows on the border of the municipalities of Beringen and Oostham on one side, and Leopoldsburg on the other. The nature reserve in which this Grote Beek flows is rich in different plants and animals. Natural beauty guaranteed!
Through meandering curves, the Grote Beek flows from east to west, to discharge into the Grote Nete via the Laak. In the valley of the Grote Beek, one can find a large abundance of plants and animals. In the source area, there are heathlands with cross-leaved heath and common heather, and in the driest parts even drifting sand areas.
The middle course is mainly characterized by a colorful variety of wet biotopes: ponds, rough terrain, old alder carrs, and flower-rich meadows. Source: https://www.ham.be/product/967/natuurgebied-grote-beek
