Nature reserves
Relax completely in the beautiful nature in Kempen.
Broad silence ... you will find it in the Kempen. On the sandy plains of the Lommel Sahara, in the vast forests or along the babbling brooks, deep fens, canals and clear lakes.
At the same time, the Limburg Kempen is a big playground for active, curious and enterprising children. You can also discover the region by bicycle. You ride along car-free paths from junction to junction.
Oases abound, in the form of quaint cafes and restaurants. On the road, follow in the footsteps of the Teutons, Breugel and the veterans of WWII.
On your tour, discover local delicacies such as local beers, fresh buckwheat cakes and artisanal cups of coffee.
