Butterfly Valley is an open area for relaxing and picnicking, located at the crossroads of the three municipalities of Lommel, Hechtel-Eksel, and Pelt, on the edge of the Pijnven Forest. In summer, you can enjoy the flower-filled meadows and the many butterflies that live here. The open landscape provides a beautiful, wide view of the surrounding nature!
Thanks to the wide variety of plants and the availability of food, this is a haven for rare butterfly species. You might spot the heather butterfly, the pearl-bordered fritillary, or the comma butterfly here.
