The Stapper Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is ten meters high and offers visitors not only a fantastic view of the Stappersven, one of the largest fens in Flanders, but also of the rest of the Kalmthoutse Heide.

One of the most special places on this heath: the pluisven.

Here you can hear countless frogs croaking in the summer. Please note: the path along the fen can be very soggy!

February 26, 2023,Rond het Stappersven vanuit Grensparking Noord

Personally, I would not recommend this route. The Stappersven is beautiful and an absolute must! Leaving from Grensparking Noord does not make for the most beautiful walk. You walk largely along the cycle track with a minimal view of the Kalmthoutse Heide. During this round I passed a parking lot Zuid Grenspark. This car park is the best starting point. …

This afternoon we took a walk around the Stappersven in Kalmthout, enjoyed the beautiful natural phenomena of the ice, dangerous for the skaters who could not resist putting on their skates and sliding over the singing ice with its dangerous air bubbles... .........
