The Zwart Water

Highlight • Lake

Het Zwart Water consists of a fen with woods on the edge, gale thickets, willow breeches and lean grassland. In the middle of the water there is a floating platform that birds like to use to rest and build their nest. Long ago, Zwart Water and its surroundings were an open dune landscape where the wind had free play. Sand was blown away to a hard layer in the subsoil, after which it collected around it to form dune ridges. The hard layer did not let water through and thus gave rise to a pool. Peat, better known as peat, developed in this area, which gave the water a dark color. Hence the name "Black Water".

Lichtaart Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Bet like the other spots on the ridge of herentals-kasterlee: better during the slightly wetter Months ride, so you avoid the immense sandbox that it becomes after periods of warm and dry weather.

This quiet singletrack near Het Zwarte Water in Herentals winds narrow and gracefully through the forest, surrounded by dense greenery and moss-covered tree trunks. The path offers a relaxed ride with soft turns and slight elevation changes, perfect for taking in the calm beauty of nature.

Sandy section near the Toeristentoren

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

This part of the permanent mountain bike route runs over a sandy surface. In dry weather this requires some technical driving experience. You can see the tourist tower beautifully here.

Entrance Black Route Herentals

Highlight • MTB Park

The entrance to the black trail in Herentals marks the start of a challenging and technical MTB route, especially for experienced mountain bikers. This trail offers steep climbs, fast descents and sharp turns that will test your agility and strength. Surrounded by dense forests and with a rough terrain, this is a must for those who love the beautiful nature of the Antwerp Kempen.
