The Zwart Water

Highlight • Lake

Het Zwart Water consists of a fen with woods on the edge, gale thickets, willow breeches and lean grassland. In the middle of the water there is a floating platform that birds like to use to rest and build their nest. Long ago, Zwart Water and its surroundings were an open dune landscape where the wind had free play. Sand was blown away to a hard layer in the subsoil, after which it collected around it to form dune ridges. The hard layer did not let water through and thus gave rise to a pool. Peat, better known as peat, developed in this area, which gave the water a dark color. Hence the name "Black Water".

Lichtaart Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Bet like the other spots on the ridge of herentals-kasterlee: better during the slightly wetter Months ride, so you avoid the immense sandbox that it becomes after periods of warm and dry weather.

De Put (Herentals)

Highlight • MTB Park

You can dive into the hole with the MTB, but getting out will take more effort. You can also go down to the right in front of the well via a track and around the well and come back up just along the well.
With a bit of luck you can enjoy the Telenet cyclo-cross team, which regularly trains there.

Sandy section near the Toeristentoren

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

This part of the permanent mountain bike route runs over a sandy surface. In dry weather this requires some technical driving experience. You can see the tourist tower beautifully here.
