Oorlandse Heide Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

"De Oorlandse heide" is a nature reserve close to the Kleine Nete. It contains 2 fens and a sand dune. The special carnivorous sundew grows along the banks of the fens. This plant catches and digests insects by means of a glittering, sticky substance on its tentacles to which mosquitoes or flies stick.

Grobbendonk Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Grobbendonk's water mill is located at the confluence of the Kleine Nete and Aa and is one of the most beautiful hammer mills in the Kempen. This 13th-century battle mill still grinds daily, oats and barley are crushed for horse feed. Until today, the mill is only powered by water power, which is unique for Flanders
