Landschap De Liereman Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

Landscape De Liereman is the first official sanctuary in the Kempen. You can hear the regional, soothing sounds of nature. The landscape is a feast for the eyes with a mosaic of forests, grasslands, heaths and fens. Konik horses, Shetland ponies, sheep and Galloways graze among all that beauty. A plank path and viewing hut let you experience nature in all its glory.

River Aa in Natuurreservaat Echelkuil

Highlight • River

Along the walking path flows the river AA where the Lieremansloop flows into. A little further you will discover a covered picnic bench and a few meters from there a stone slab with the text Silence is a sound here. In 2012, De Liereman was recognized as the first quiet area in the Antwerp Kempen, but fortunately it is not completely quiet here. Nature has its sounds and you can listen to them here far from the man-made noise.

February 18, 2025,De Liereman Speelbos Echelkuylpad

Well frozen this night so it was easier to get through the very wet Echelkuilpad of the last months along the pond. We had boots on but without I would not have started this part. Very nice walk by the way.

July 21, 2023,Wandeling "Kom op tegen kanker"route @ De Liereman Oud-Turnhout

Another spontaneous evening walk on the way home. 1 of the "Come on against cancer" walks in the province of Antwerp. There is 1 in every Flemish province. It is a pity that there was only 1 poem and the signposts were sometimes absent. A very nice area for walking 😊
