Walk into the polder from Leur

From Leur you can walk straight into the Brabant polder. In the cozy old village center you can still see some beautiful monumental buildings.

Bad peat
From the parking lot you quickly walk into the tree-lined Haansberg. A nice street where you see some beautiful characteristic buildings. The name Leur is not positive: it used to refer to bad peat or bad soil. Walking through the countryside you will see how part of the land has been cultivated into fertile agricultural land: a beautiful view. And ideal for a quiet walk to empty the proverbial battery.

The lily
Between junctions 94 and 95 the landscape looks a bit more unspoilt. You walk past the Kelsdonk nature reserve, a former water storage basin for the nearby River Mark. The area has retained its rugged character, you will see flower-rich grasslands, alders and willows. There is a marina at the Westpolderplas. On the quay of the Leurse Haven you will pass De Lelie, a beautiful flour mill from 1804.
