One of the official gates of the National Park. Starting point with ample parking for a nice walk or bike ride through the Mechelse heath.

With its 700 hectares, the Mechelse Heide is one of the largest heath areas in Flanders. The beautiful purple carpet of flowering heather during the summer is a delight to the eye. It is therefore a pleasure to walk through it. Among the many types of heather plants, you will also find the red heather here, a rare species in Belgium. If you climb to the steep edge of the Kempen plateau of this first nature reserve in Limburg, nature will treat you to a beautiful view of the heathland and the Maasland.
