Nice walk! Parking at the church of Deurne, hiking junctions 938-928-927-924-923-929-937-938 It is indicated that the boardwalk between 928 and 927 is in poor condition and difficult to walk, but in dry weather (low water level) it is fine. The boardwalk will be renewed soon. visitvlaamsbrabant.be/wandelen/vind-een-wandeling/vallei-van-de-drie-bekenwandeling-rood

Be careful in rainy weather. Puddles sometimes so deep that even boots are insufficient. Many decking paths are broken, so you can fall or slip

It is a paradise for the …

At the entrance of the reserve in the Molenberg there is a warning that it is closed and an alternative must be followed. If you want a bit of adventure you can still do the boardwalks. They are really in bad condition. It is beautiful in the reserve though.
