Heuvelse Heide in Lommel is no ordinary nature reserve. It is a hidden gem, a hiker’s paradise where your eyes will not be enough. The variety in this area is unparalleled: from fragrant pine forests to rolling heathlands, from shimmering pools to refreshing lakes.
Start your adventure at Jachthaven De Meerpaal on Boskantstraat. The first path leads you through a fairytale pine forest, where the smell of resin surrounds you. Along the canal you then walk into the heathland, where the sandy paths lead you past unexpected surprises. Yellow chairs that seem to be nonchalantly placed in the landscape invite you to rest and enjoy the silence.
As you walk deeper into the heathland, the landscape gradually changes into dense forests. Walk along the water and imagine yourself in the tropics.
Heuvelse Heide is a place for everyone. Whether you choose the 2.9 km green route, the 7 km orange route or the 9 km red route, you are guaranteed to enjoy an unforgettable walk.
Heuvelse Heide: an unforgettable experience. Come and wander in this beautiful nature reserve and be surprised by the beauty of nature.
