After barely a few steps in the Keiheuvel a wide landscape opens up with sandy plains, fens and dune grasslands, surrounded by pine trees. After a detour along the Canal to Beverlo it goes towards the Most. The low-lying and marshy valley contrasts nicely with the high and dry Keiheuvel. De Most once served as a hunting ground and shelter for the resistance in the Second World War.

Keiheuvel and the Most.

After leaving, you will soon arrive in the Keiheuvel nature reserve. You go by a few fens and dune grasslands to a large sandy area. Once you leave the plain behind you continue through pine forest in the direction of a residential area, which you cross to reach the canal to Beverlo. Follow a beautiful unpaved path along the canal to the Most. Here you walk on unpaved roads and beautiful forest paths along swampy areas. Then you will return to a heathland with land dunes. Through forests it goes back to the Licht Vliegwezenlaan, which you follow over a wide stretch of sand to the starting point.
