Enjoy a lovely stroll along the inland dunes and marshes

Exuberant nature
The Keiheuvel scenery consists of inland dunes, pine forests, open dune grasslands and strips of dry heathland. You can spot extremely rare plant and animal species, or sometimes even a glider from Aeroclub Keiheuvel. In the eleven-metre lower De Most you can walk through an exuberantly green and marshy valley area. At the upper reaches of the Grote Nete you will find all kinds of special flora: from water strawberry to brook lamprey, burbot, snipe and porcelain chicken. These plants have returned here thanks to years of effort by nature associations.

Time for a break?
When walking for more than 11 kilometers, it is nice to take a break every now and then. You can do this at the beautiful picnic spots that you encounter along the way. Or hang up your hammock at one of the most photogenic spots in the Keiheuvel. Hangers are provided, the hammock itself can be rented at Recreatiepark Keiheuvel and at leisure center De Kruierie in Balen.

Day recreation Keiheuvel
The starting and ending point of the route is formed by Dagrecreatie Keiheuvel. Here you will find a playground, an open-air swimming pool, mini golf, a petting zoo and much more fun. Highly recommended if you are going out with your children or grandchildren. You can also rent bicycles here. Handy if you don't feel like taking your own bike with you.
