Icon description route Description

The Turnhouts Vennen area is one of the most valuable heathlands in Flanders and is important on a European scale. Thanks to the shallow clay layers, the natural plots remain moist long enough. As a result, endangered species such as the black-tailed godwit, curlew, lapwing, numerous dragonflies, colorful butterflies and plants such as the spotted orchid, which are bound to heath-rich grasslands, can be found here. No surprise that precisely these biotopes were part of two unique European LIFE nature projects.

Monday, April 12, 2021 by Dirk HensDid this hiking trail for the first time today. Definitely not the last time! Great variety of birds seen and also some playing hares that were not shy by our presence, but still stayed at a safe distance. Because of the breeding season, one cannot go through the nature reserve now, with all due respect to the breeding birds.

Sunday, April 11, 2021 by L.V.We really enjoyed this hike and found it very varied. Most of it was on unpaved paths and the views of the fens and landscape were sometimes impressive, especially at the Koeiven and at the watchtower. We combined the hike with Natuurpunt's Hoge Heidewandeling from node 2.

Tuesday, March 23, 2021 by B.V.The hike was ca va. Finding parking is tricky. We ended up parking at node 3, then walked to 2 and started there. The first half of the hike was nice, but the 2nd part pretty boring. Just very long straight ahead on a dirt road without much sightseeing. You also walked nit through the nature reserve, but around it.
