GrensPark Kempen-Broek.
The Areven is a varied nature area with forests and meadows. The Stramprooier heather is for the most part a former heath and drifting sand area, planted with Scots pine. The Abeek stream is followed in the Stramprooierbroek, a beautiful meandering stream through a swampy area. During the walking tour one passes two mills, the De Nijverheid windmill also known as the Nijs mill and the Broekmolen water mill. Unfortunately, the water wheel of this water mill is not visible from the road, viewing is only possible by appointment.
77% of this walking tour is unpaved.
