Guided Hiking Route Große Heide in Neerpelt: the red loop

The red loop of the guided hiking route Große Heide in Neerpelt begins at the Fit-o-Meter, close to the pony farm Achelsendijk.

This route takes you along natural paths through expansive heath fields and dense coniferous forests, along centuries-old hedgerows. Nearby is a play forest for children and a 25-meter-high fire watchtower that offers a magnificent view of the surroundings and is used by forest workers to keep an eye on nature. Along the route, you will encounter ancient burial mounds that provide insight into the rich history of the region.

Features of the red loop:

  • Well accessible during wetter periods

  • No lighting available

  • Easy, with only 11 meters of elevation

  • 75% unpaved

Discover the breathtaking nature and historical treasures of the Große Heide while exploring this beautiful hiking route!
