NL - GR 561 Kempen-Maaspad is één van de meest groene langeafstandspaden in Vlaanderen. Het start in het Vlaams-Brabantse Diest en trekt dan via de Kempen door Antwerpen en Limburg. Het aantal onverharde wegen op dit GR-pad is bijzonder groot.
De route is een aaneenschakeling van natuurgebieden, met natte beemden en moerassen, vennen en heide. Je wandelt langs kanalen, rijk begroeide rivieroevers, beekvalleien en watermolens. De route maakt een uitstapje over de Nederlandse grens en voert door donkere Kempische bossen en resten van het mijnwerkersverleden. De klim naar het Kempens plateau beloont je met haast eindeloze vergezichten. En tenslotte daal je naar Maastricht, de meest ‘Belgische’ van alle Nederlandse steden.
EN - The GR 561 Kempen-Maaspad is one of the greenest long-distance trails in Flanders, connecting a particularly great number of unpaved roads. It starts in Diest (Flemish Brabant) and then travels through Antwerp and Limburg via the Kempen.
The route strings together nature reserves, wet meadows, marshes, fens and heathland. You walk along canals and lush riverbanks, through stream valleys and past water mills. When the route crosses the Dutch border, it leads you through dense forests and along remnants of the miners' past. The climb to the Kempens plateau rewards you with near-endless views. Finally, you descend to Maastricht, the most “Belgian” of all Dutch cities.
