Hiking

The Demer, near the place where the very first meander was reconnected in April 2019, in Vinkenberg, between Scherpenheuvel-Zichem and Diest. An information board a little further tells you about it, you can of course see the connection and there is a bench for those who want to enjoy or rest for a while. There is now also a renewed gravel path here. That takes you towards Zichem (and another meander) but first enjoy the impressive landscape with beautiful witness hills on both sides of the valley, now and then with a train.
