De Kalvenne is a lovely green spot, right in the heart of Tremelo. Stroll along accessible roads and paths through an oasis of tranquility. Always with the church tower in the background.

The "Kalvenne", an ecologically very valuable nature reserve, is the outermost spur of the Zuiderkempen. The area consists of both damp and drier parts, each with its specific plant species.

Notice especially the rows of pollarded willows. Where canada poplars are now used to dry out the land, in the past, willows were used and pollarded. A mature willow draws about 600 liters of water per season from the soil. The wood served, among other things, for weaving baskets and stoking the baking oven.

A perfect area, close to the village center, to relax in beautiful nature.
