STURDY STEPS THROUGH HEATH AND SAND
Hoge Kempen National Park is a real hiking paradise, where you will find just about every type of landscape Limburg has to offer. The long-distance National Park Trail includes a whopping 105 km of hiking pleasure, but here we focus on the 24 km stage two. Via this part of the Trail, you hike from south to north across the edge of the Kempens Plateau. Along the way, you discover the heathland and Ziepbeek Valley. On the Mechelse Heide, you look out over the entire Meuse Valley, enjoying panoramic views of Dutch Limburg as far as Germany. This stage connects three gateways of Hoge Kempen National Park: Pietersheim, Mechelse Heide and Terhills.
