NATURE

HIKING

Hooge Heyde is located near the “Kempense Heuvelrug”. The “Kempense Heuvelrug” is widely known in the Kempen and beyond as the largest relief in the region. Extensive coniferous forests interspersed with heathlands, ponds such as the “Zwart Water” or the “Snepkensvijver”, parabolic dunes, hollow roads and deciduous forests shape the landscape. Good for hours of walking pleasure.

BIKING

All you have to do is cycle out of the street of Hooge Heyde and you will reach the cycling network of the “Antwerpse Kempen”. You can map out a beautiful cycling route yourself or ask our reception for a detailed route. Enjoy ice creams on the ice cream route, follow the “Prinsenroute” for a generous portion of nature, fascinating heritage and atmospheric places in the “Kempen”, or cycle along beautiful windmills with the windmill route.
