Heilzame Heidewandeling in the Hageven

August is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful moments to visit the Hageven. The vast heathlands turn purple, insects buzz between the flowering shrubs, and a special summer tranquility hangs over the open plains. During this healing heath walk, manager and nature guide Ghis Palmans takes you through one of the most valuable heath landscapes in Flanders. Along the way, you will discover how heath is formed, why this landscape is so special, and which plants and animals live there. We walk past flowering heather, fens, grasslands, and open sandy places where numerous species find their home. With some luck, we will see graylings, dragonflies, birds of prey, or one of the many other inhabitants of the area. However, this walk is about more than just nature. Heath appeals to all the senses. The colors, scents, silence, and open space provide a unique nature experience that many visitors find soothing and relaxing. Along the way, Ghis also introduces participants to some surprising products that are connected to the heath landscape. This way, you literally taste how man and nature have been intertwined here for centuries. An ideal walk for anyone who wants to experience the Hageven in a different way and wants to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a while! Sturdy walking shoes are recommended.
