Description
The Demerbroeken form a vast chunk of nature in the wide valley of the Demer, between Testelt, Zichem, Averbode and Diest. You cross a pristine flood plain there. The Agency for Nature and Forests is working with Natuurpunt to develop a vast nature reserve with reed thickets alternating with species-rich hay meadows and native deciduous forest. On the Voortberg you can enjoy a magnificent panorama.
Follow the junctions of the Wandelnetwerk de Merode or the signposts with the red triangle.

Monday, January 24, 2022 by herman verheirstraetenVery nice hike through nature, the village of Testelt and the outskirts of Zichem, but most of all the absolute silence in the beautiful nature along the Demer river and the incredibly beautiful views. Bit swampy at times, but bottinnekes can easily overcome it. No need for boots and it had rained a bit the last few days.

Sunday, September 19, 2021 by M.M.Terrible hike. We did this one in August shortly after the floods. As a result, there was an enormous stench. We constantly felt like we were walking in a cow roll. Might be a nice hike in the winter. I would never recommend them in the summer.
