Description
The mysterious fens of the Malpie are a picture. With this route you will discover the Groot Malpieven, where a major nature restoration project has just taken place.
Mysterious Malpie
On the cozy terrace of Het Wapen van Westerhoven you first drink a cup of coffee, then you go on your way. On the Dorpsstraat is the neo-Gothic Sint-Servatius church from 1855. The adjacent parsonage dates from 1861. Via the hamlet of Loveren you walk to the Malpie, which is known for its beautiful fens. Between the heathlands, the water wells up from the ground to form mysterious fens, a beautiful sight.
Restored fen
You walk right past the Groot Malpieven, which was recently dug up. The water was too rich in nutrients and the original plants and animals disappeared. The area around the fen has also been completely cleared to get the heathland back, with everything that goes with it, such as butterflies, dragonflies and birds. Polluted sludge, which ended up in the fen through the Dommel, has been removed from the fen: about five hundred truckloads!
