On the road in Kempen-Broek from Altweerterheide

Then you cycle to Altweerterheide, named after the nature reserve of the same name. What you cycle through. Weerter trader Jan Henderiks, nicknamed Bolle Jan because of his trade in flower bulbs, bought no less than 80 hectares of uncultivated land here in 1911. He commissioned the area to be developed and thus stood at the cradle of Altweerterheide as a village and nature reserve.

Kempen Pants
Altweerterheide, like the Tungelerwallen through which you then cycle, is part of the cross-border Kempen-Broek nature reserve, which stretches from Maaseik to Nederweert. From forests to sand drifts and from rural green to water-rich nature reserves, you will discover it all here. A little later you cross the beautifully meandering Tungelerbeek - here you will find a nice picnic bench near a few stepping stones in the water, worth taking a break!
