Great Nete Forest.
From the starting point, you walk a bit through mixed forest to the De Kwacht nature reserve. The area is a marshy low moor along the Kwacht walk from where you can enjoy the panorama on the Hoge Kwacht. Through the De Hutten area, the route continues to the Grote Nete. You follow the river for a bit before heading towards the Belse Heide. Here, beautiful heather fields and vast sand drifts alternate. At Kapucienenberg, you can enjoy the view of ancient sand dunes. Through the Belse Bossen you walk back to the valley of the Grote Nete. Here, open landscape alternates with forest and at the Kruis Van De Hut you are almost back at the starting point.
