Icon description route Description

Discover one of the most valuable and largest nature reserves in the Dijle Valley. The Doode Bemde is a natural floodplain where the Dijle River has room to overflow its banks, thereby protecting Leuven from flooding. The valley landscape is a mosaic of small fields and marshy woodlands, scrublands and reed beds, ponds, and canals—each a unique habitat teeming with life. Admire Neerijse Castle, the 18th-century Lindenhof, and several charming little chapels.

Monday, December 7, 2020 by E.P.Nice walk in a quiet environment. We had extended the hike to include node 103. Be sure to wear proper footwear because along the Dijle it can be slippery.

Wednesday, July 15, 2020 by Erik ArfeuilleThis is undoubtedly a "Must Do" hike near Leuven. The nature here is beautiful. There is a climb at the end, so you may want to consider doing the hike in reverse.
