Clear your mind completely with this short but surprising walk through the Demerbroeken. This vast nature reserve is made up of the green meadows along the Demer River. It’s the ideal place to escape into nature for a while, right near Ernest Claes’s birthplace. Incidentally, the writer drew a great deal of inspiration from his walks through the Demerbroeken. Floere the weasel, a stone marten from his body of work, calls this area home.
Before you set out: Follow the junction markers of the Wandelnetwerk de Merode hiking network or the signs with a green rectangle.
