A beautiful nature reserve with wet hay and meadows, wetlands and coniferous forests. Along the banks of the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, it is nice and quiet to walk on, while looking out over the rippling water. You cross the canal to walk to the old cozy village center of Neerpelt.

Beautiful Achilles
