Vallei van de Zwarte Beek, Nature reserve in Koersel, Belgium.
The Vallei van de Zwarte Beek extends over 1,300 hectares, featuring wetlands, meadows, sandy dunes, and woodlands along the winding creek path.
Since 1976, Natuurpunt vzw has managed conservation efforts in the valley, transforming former agricultural lands into protected natural habitats.
The De Watersnip visitor center introduces the local ecosystem through educational programs, guided walks, and interactive nature activities throughout the year.
The red trail spans 7.1 kilometers with boardwalks, while specific paths near military grounds remain accessible only during weekends and holidays.
The sensory path contains twelve stations with sound labyrinths, viewing walls, and tactile elements designed for visitors with different mobility needs.
