Winding Astense Aa 
This nature reserve is located in the stream valley of the Astense Aa. Here, a stretch of stream no more than 2 kilometres long still flows freely through flower-filled meadows and ancient forests. The heavy oak trees are sometimes crooked due to the soft soil and the erosive water of the Aa. The winding stream creates a layer of silt on one side of the bank, while the other bank erodes and is steep. This creates many different habitats, sometimes islands, for different species of plants and animals.

Walking
In De Berken nature reserve, the river Aa winds its way through the landscape. The walking route network runs through this special piece of nature. Highly recommended for exploration!
