Icon description route Description

The Mechelse Heide is a popular nature reserve situated between the municipalities of As and Mechelen-aan-de-Maas. The expansive area is located on the edge of the Kempen Plateau and is part of the Hoge Kempen National Park.

This short walk takes you through the woods and along the edge of a large gravel pit to the highest point of this area. You will get a magnificent view of the region, highly recommended in clear weather. Put on sturdy walking shoes, as you will have to climb and descend quite a bit. But it is certainly worth the effort. Bring your camera!
