Park Pond

Highlight • Lake

The pond in the Demerpark. Many walks depart from this Demerpark. In addition to the pond, there are also many sports facilities and a playground, just to name a few.

Diepenbeek's largest playground is located quietly in the green, at the back of the Demerstrand grounds. This beautiful playground has play equipment for young and old. There are toilets and picnic tables nearby, and in the summer you can buy a drink at the kiosk.

Highland Pony Grazing Zone at Dauteweyers

Highlight • Natural

Short crossing of the grazing zone at the Dauteweyers with water on the left and wooded grazing areas on the right. The part with the ponds is protected nature. If the animals are there, chances are they will come to you themselves. One is very curious, the other very shy. But the grazing breed chosen is very gentle.

Dauteweyers Ponds Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

The ponds that are meant here are the Dauteweyers, a nature reserve of 11 hectares of several ponds that were created in the eighteenth century during the mining of iron ore. They are now interconnected and include tree frogs, kingfishers and great crested newts. The road on this side gives relatively little visibility and is not very comfortable unless you step straight between two of the ponds. The best walking path to admire the ponds and nature is on the opposite side.

Pomperik Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Pomperik and the Dorpsbemden are sometimes referred to together as the Dorpsbemden-Pomperik nature reserve. However, the Pomperik is primarily known as a fish pond. The surroundings of the pond are beautifully maintained and it is a good place to relax after or before you go to the flora-rich meadows of the Dorpsbemden or to the Dautenwijers. The chance that there are fishermen is of course great. Some parts may not be fished, where you can see colorful water lilies in the summer, for example. Also pay attention to the water feature on the other side of the walking path with sometimes beautiful vegetation. For example, one was full of beautiful pearl feather herb, also known as diamond herb, which is an exotic that normally grows in subtropical areas but is unfortunately very invasive.

Information board about the meadows

Highlight • Structure

A word of explanation about the otherwise very beautiful nature reserve De Dorpsbemden. In the words of the website of the municipality of Diepenbeek: "The Dorpsbemden (60 ha) extends east of the Stationsstraat between the fish pond De Pomperik and the Demer. The Dorpsbemden originated from the former communal grazing grounds. until summer, you can enjoy exceptional floral splendor thanks to the varied meadows. After all, the area contains blue grasslands, marigold grasslands, glossy oat haylands and heathland grasslands, each with its own typical flower variation. Because various rare plants occur in the area, hikers must to stay." I couldn't say it better.

Dorpsbemden boardwalk

Highlight • Trail

A really very small piece of boardwalk, but on the other side you will find the beautiful village beds and water is almost always here.
