Icon description route Description

Walk between and across the heathlands of Kruisheide and Pommelsven and enjoy the typical heath fauna and flora. During this walk you will also see the colonial past of Keerbergen reflected in the street names.

From May to July you can enjoy the concert of the field cricket on the Kruisheide. There is also a good chance that you will see black sheep here. In Pommelsven you will find heather and the rare bell gentian. In both areas live different species of solitary bees and wasps such as the heather bee, heather sand bee or the digger wasp.

This route was worked out by the Keerberg Environmental Council and is not signposted.

Sunday, May 22, 2022 by S.T.The heather and other fauna and flora as described are very scarce or not present in this walk. For the most part, it goes along paved roads in residential areas with the most exclusive villas. If you like to marvel at this, this hike is the right choice.
