Icon description route Description

This is a varied walk through the Lage Kempen Park to the nature park In Den Brand, perhaps less known but definitely worth exploring.

We start at the town hall of Hechtel-Eksel. First, we explore this village and get to know Father Mallet, a bust on the square that bears his name tells his story. Don Bosco is also clearly present here, and his work continues in the nearby schools.

Near the military domain, the story of the war is never far away. Discover the grave of the unfortunate soldier who fell here and walk carefully along the fence of the forbidden camp. It was the first king of our country who created an exercise ground for soldiers here, hence the name Leopoldsburg.

Continue through the forest along the Kattenpoel to the large yellow sand plain of the Sterrenplekje In Den Brand. Climb via the dune staircase to the highest point of the hill and enjoy the beautiful view!
