Tour Groot Schietveld Nature Reserve

Explore Groot Schietveld Nature Reserve in Antwerp's Noorderkempen, an area that is military domain and used as an artillery training ground. It is an elongated and triangular terrain. It slopes downwards in the northeast and southwest, allowing excess water to drain naturally. This is collected in a stream called the Kleine Aa, in the Schaapsdijkbeek and in Het Moerke, a small stream that was once the center of a beautiful stream valley with swampy heathland and peat mosses. Above the tops of the trees in Gooreind you see a wide, round white tower looming. This imposing building is a water tower. You can park your car for free at Profile Luverdy. The location of the bicycle specialist is at the beginning of the route. If you want to be assured of a carefree bike ride, bring your steel steed to the bicycle repair shop to have it checked. Holders of a bicycle discount pass receive a 10 euro discount on maintenance or repairs.
