Need a moment of Zen? Let your thoughts wander for 11 kilometers across the landscape of the Kempense Heuvelrug in Kasterlee. The very name of this long, stretched-out dune sounds like something out of a fairy tale. Long ago, this rolling landscape was left behind when the sea receded. Today, you can relax here among sand dunes, forests, heathland, and ponds. At junction 20, the Zwart Water nature reserve awaits: a dark-colored pond where frogs, dragonflies, and countless water birds steal the show. Settle into the bird-watching hut and feast your eyes. Starting in mid-August, the heathlands turn purple—now that’s truly magical!
