Hiking

The Blekerheide is a beautiful piece of nature consisting of shrub heath that borders on the east with a small building of a few houses and on the south with a narrow piece of Scots pine that in turn connects to the Maas-Scheldt canal. To the north, the border forms a forest of Scots pine and to the north-west a piece of agricultural land. Source and info: natuurpuntlommel.be/RiebosBlekerheide.html
