Natuurgebied Marum

The Marum (? 315 ha) is the most northern part of the Groot Schietveld and lies to the left of the Kampweg towards Brecht and has been a military domain since the 1890s. Due to the decades of military use, the historic stream valley landscape in the Marum has largely been preserved. and traces of land use from the early Middle Ages to the present day can be found. Nature has also benefited from this: heather and poor grasslands that were once common in the Kempen have been preserved in the Marum, and a number of important animal and plant species that are associated with this are still there.
