Bergerven
Bergerven covers an area nestled in the northernmost tip of the Hoge Kempen between Maaseik and Dilsen-Stokkem on the edge of Belgium's first National Park. Shaped by its past as a gravel extraction site, the landscape has since been transformed into a mosaic of tranquil lakes where nature is reclaiming its space. Grazing cattle roam freely, managed by the Limburgs Landschap conservation authority. Bergerven, a serene retreat where water, wildlife and history come together from peaceful lakeside walks to echoes of wartime heritage!
