Description by the author

The Multimovepad De Zwarte Specht Herselt offers an ideal mix of movement, frolicking, and nature experience through natural obstacles and wooden constructions.

The multimovepad is 2.7 km long. Along the way, there are about 10 challenging and natural play devices where children can practice their 12 motor skills while playing. There is a large play hill, a jungle swing, sand teeter-totter, sound game, balance course, climbing and scrambling course, wobble bridge, walkway, and much more to discover. The path winds over unpaved roads that are accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. The first and last sections run along a part of the GR5 hiking route. The middle section goes through the forest area and play forest of Provincial Green Domain Hertberg.

Starting point: Football field Blauberg, Averbodesteensweg 2, 2230 Herselt
