With the Dijle River as your guide, you’ll pass through some beautiful areas, such as the Hooiberg Nature Reserve, which is situated on a sandy hill. The Dijle River carried sand to the foothills of the Zuiderkempen, fostering an enormous variety of life in the Dijle Valley and creating ideal conditions for asparagus cultivation. Be sure to take a look from the Oude Hansbrug. The original cast-iron drawbridge dates back to 1893; since 2005, an exact replica has spanned the Dijle.
