Hiking

"In 2006, a controlled flood area was created on the grounds of the Speelhof. The Trudobronbeek was freed from its tight straitjacket along a straight lane and now meanders over the former fields. It is allowed to overflow its banks again without any constraint. A plank path leads you across the water, without getting your feet wet." natuurenbos.be/beleid-legislation/buurtnatuur-de-praktijk/parken-en-tuinen/t-speelhof-sint-truiden

Hiking

In 2008, an 8 hectare cropland in the domain was converted into a controlled flood zone. The Trudobronbeek was 'liberated' from its tight straitjacket and given a new winding course straight through the flood zone, supplemented with various pools. The area was bordered with a dike. In times of emergency, excess water in the Cicindriabeek can also be collected in this zone in a controlled manner. This means additional protection against flooding for the village centers located downstream.
