Start in the quiet, wooded hamlet of Heikant and head toward “De Plas van Rotselaar” for a stroll around the water. This recreational pond was created as a result of sand extraction in 1975 for the construction of the E314. You’ll pass the impressive 14th-century Ter Heide Tower. The landscape here has been shaped primarily by the meanders of the Demer River that remained after the river was straightened. This wetland is a highly valuable habitat for aquatic and marsh plants.
