Hiking
The Meersbeemden are part of the Herk valley. This nature reserve is located in Borgloon, between Tongeren and Sint-Truiden and on the border with Vochtig-Haspengouw. The area around the Meersbeemden was dominated by mill activities for a long time.
The area has traditionally been known for its wet hayfields. Due to the mill activities, the upstream lands remained very wet. They were therefore used as wet hayfields for a long time. Poplars grow in a significant part of the area, but attempts are being made to develop marsh marigolds. In Helshoven, the poplar forest was converted into hayfields.
