A pleasant route that starts along the cycle path, after which the paths have been resurfaced with sand and gravel. The last few oafs along the Demer are pleasant, narrow paths. A beautiful area for birdwatching.

With my hiking buddy, we did a little tour through the Webbekoms Broek. An overflow area of the Demer and the Zwarte Beek near Diest. A refuge for many birds, amphibians,... and with beautiful flora.
A perfect environment to walk into the weekend.

The Rotbroek Walk takes you through a beautiful nature reserve in Halen, where swamp forests, flower-filled meadows, and babbling brooks combine to create a unique landscape. This route takes you through the floodplains of the Demer and Velpe rivers, amidst a patchwork of meadows, grasslands, wet forests, and reed thickets.
