Icon description route Description

  • Follow the arrows with green diamonds (7.8km) from the Damien Museum.
  • The walk can be combined with the Laekdal walk (blue rectangles). This turns this into a beautiful 12.8km nature walk. See Laekdal-Zegbroek walk.
  • This walk is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers. In wet weather, some paths may be boggy.

Near the birthplace of Father Damien in Ninde you will find the Zegbroek. This nature reserve is part of the recognized landscape 'Blaasberg'.

The Zegbroek is a damp, boggy, old meander of the Demer. You can enjoy a variety of biotopes: swamp forests, flowery grasslands, fields and ponds. This variety makes Zegbroek a paradise of ferns, sedges and many other plant species.

Thanks to beautiful boardwalks, the trouser forests remain walkable. In this old Demer meander you can observe a rare natural phenomenon: a quaking bog. Those who venture onto such a quaking bog imagine themselves on a water bed.

Besides the typical peat and sedge species, you can regularly spot a marsh harrier or a partridge. Along the water edges salamanders, dragonflies and butterflies find their place.

Wednesday, December 28, 2022 by Yasmin VdCVery nice walk. Largely unpaved and quiet. Nice that towards the end (if you want) you can add a piece to it (attention! Switches between routes NOT well marked!). Beautiful nature, watch out in rainy weather (can be muddy and little protection against rain/wind along the way). Parking at damian museum is easy. Highly recommended!

Sunday, December 19, 2021 by J.B.Today 19/12/2021 did this hike together with the Laekdal hike (together 12,8km). Nice walk, but a lot of mud. This hike is recommended in dry periods. Started at the Father Damien museum, which you can visit if you like. JOS

Sunday, January 10, 2021 by G.H.We did this hike on a very foggy day (09/01/2021) which made this hike very fairy-like. In itself a nice hike with some variation. Only the part along the Dijle river is long. Pay attention in the Barbara street. The inhabitants of the farm ask not to pass by their property. They have placed their own pointers.
