Description by the author

SP - 613 - 612 - 608 - 609 - 610 - 611 - 614 - 615 - 619 - 613

The Meander walk starts in the quiet, wooded, hamlet of Heikant. You head towards 'De Plas van Rotselaar' for a walk around the water. Here the walk leads you past the 14th-century Ter Heide tower. After the Demer straightened out, several meanders remained on the southern bank. You hike further along the wetlands that are a very valuable biotope for water and marsh plants.
