Icon description route Description

Scheps Nature Area is a gem of a stream valley. For centuries, watercourses shaped the landscape. In 2012, the Scheps Walk (6.9 km) was awarded Walk of the Year. Take a break at the bird-watching wall, on the picnic island, or in one of the hammock resting points. There is also the children's walk "The String of Pearls of Odrada" (6.7 km).

Monday, December 27, 2021 by T.W.Unwalkable, more swamp and mire than beauty. No fun to be had.

Tuesday, August 10, 2021 by Hugo VanhoofVery nice walk, but today a bit too much water between node 78 and 63. As a result we took a detour along Broekstraat.

Tuesday, August 3, 2021 by Seppe VervoortClear route. Parking is easy at 51.15307280426918, 5.174084360631433. Of course, with the recent rainfall, you can expect deep puddles on the trail. Beautiful nature! I felt like I was hiking IN a natural area rather than around it. Mosquitoes are currently very abundant (long sleeves).

Wednesday, July 14, 2021 by E.B.Very nice hike but only doable if it is dry for an extended period of time. I had to wade through the water up to my knees

Wednesday, March 31, 2021 by Karin van de VenHiked early this morning in a beautiful natural area accompanied by a great whistling concert. 95% unpaved and varied nature. Highly recommended for bird watchers, I came across several bird watchers equipped with a cannon of a camera. I don't know about it but a blue chaffinch had been spotted.
