The 14km hike Scherpenbergen-De Hutten combines all the beauty that makes the 1200 ha Great Nete Forest Natural Park so varied and special. Along the banks of the slow-flowing Grote Nete, meandering through a green stream valley where dragonflies and the great yellow wagtail feel at home, you walk along the edge of the wet Belsbroek to the wooded area of De Hutten. Here you experience the tranquility of two unadulterated European top nature reserves. 'De Kwacht' is a beautifully managed low moor where you can't stop looking at the surroundings from the bench on the old land dune. In turn, 'De Keyfheide' is a remarkable remnant of the region's once vast heathlands. Look for the timid viviparous lizard in a sunny spot.

You can start and end the hike at the site of the beautifully renovated 17th-century water mill in Meerhout, which Natuurpunt set up as an attractive visitor center. The river literally flows through the building. Here you can relax with a drink while children romp around in the play area.
