Domein Hoge Rielen Kasterlee

Domein Hoge Rielen is an extensive youth and training centre in Kasterlee, laid out on more than 100 hectares of natural land between heathland, woods and fens. The estate is primarily a residential site for schools, youth movements and sports groups, but day visitors are welcome to explore the paved walking loops through the Kempen countryside. The combination of play forest, sports pitches and educational fens makes for a family-friendly outing.

The main buildings and reception are barrier-free by design and equipped with accessible toilets. The central walking paths are paved with concrete or asphalt, flat and wide, and suitable for wheelchairs, rollators and handbikes. Side trails in the woods and heath are sometimes semi-paved or sandy, on which a wheelchair rolls less easily. The main loops around the fens and sports pitches, however, can be fully traversed barrier-free.

The large visitor car park has reserved spaces at the main entrance. Alongside the reception is an accessible public toilet. The site also has a few benches and a viewing point over the fen. Combine your outing with a visit to the accessible Kabouterbos of Lichtaart just a few kilometres away.
