Walking the Kalmthoutse Heide in Purple Bloom

Last weekend we were camping near the Belgian border and decided to make a walk on the Kalmthoutse Heide. We chose this place since the heather is in bloom at the end of August and in September. This beautiful purple plants give the place a lovely color.

The Kalmthoutse Heide is one of the oldest and largest nature reserves in Flanders. It actually stretches out over the border between Belgium and the Netherlands. It is part of the "Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide" and covers more than 6,000 hectares. The area exixts of of heathland, forests, sand and dunes.

Just enjoy the shots I made there!
