De Teut

The Teut is worthwhile in all seasons, but certainly in late summer, when the heather flowers beautifully purple. You literally walk between the moors, encounter unique fens and enjoy an exceptional panoramic view of the region on the hills.

The Maten

Between Genk and Hasselt lies the De Maten nature reserve that will play the leading role in this walk today. First you walk through the Diepenbeker forest and then via the Stiemerbeek to the Slag mill. From here it continues along a swampy nature trail that has beautiful views of the ponds of the nature reserve. Just past two bunkers that were part of the line of defense during the Second World War, we stop briefly at a bird watching wall that offers a beautiful panorama of the Augustinian ponds.
