This looped walk of 10.7 km takes you through the unique nature reserve De Most-Keiheuvel in Balen, where wet valleys and dry sand dunes meet in a surprising interplay.

Along the way, you will come across:
🧭 De Most – A marshy area that lives up to its name. Until 1810, this was a municipal domain, now an oasis of peace and wet nature.

🏞️ The Keiheuvel – A higher located dune landscape, dry and open, ideal for walkers who love space and light.

✈️ Bench at the airfield – A resting point with a view of the glider airfield of Balen Keiheuvel.

🐝 Sand bee and landscape frame – An invitation to pause and consciously experience the landscape. The frame invites you to look with attention.

🎠 Keiheuvel Recreation Park – A green playground in the heart of the Kempen, where nature and recreation go hand in hand.
