Discover the rich nature of this enchanting patch of heather
Sahara

Blekerheide

The Blekerheide, accessible via the graceful steel pedestrian bridge over the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, is an enchanting piece of heathland rich in nature.

From the Sahara you enter this beautiful piece of heathland via the steel footbridge. Just like the Heuvelse Heide, this heathland landscape is a remnant of the former Kempische Heide with an extensive range of fauna and flora. The ideal location for fascinating walks in all seasons of the year. 

Even during a winter walk you are never alone here. The Grey Shrike, which sits atop a Scots pine in winter, keeps a close eye on you until you leave the heath.
