The Burreken is a very hilly area with sharply cut streams, which have created narrow valleys and steep (20% and more) valley walls. The highest point of the central ridge is about 116 meters high. The lowest parts of the Burreken are about 50 meters high. The typical Flemish Ardennes landscape in the Burreken consists of fields, forests and grasslands with many rows of trees and wood edges in between. The pronounced relief is accentuated by hollow roads and embankments. This created a panoramic mosaic of light-rich deciduous forests, small spring groves, moist and flowery meadows and numerous woody small landscape elements. This patchwork of bushes and grasslands is intersected by the winding Krombeek with its deep bed. Orchards, cattle drinking pools and wood edges used to be typical of the Flemish Ardennes. Unfortunately, many of these small landscape features have disappeared due to intensive farming methods. Along the walking path is a unique row of centenarian oak trees, which are very valuable as linear elements in the landscape. The walking path offers a beautiful view of the forests, grasslands, hollow roads and spring streams.
