About this school trip

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to Hoge Kempen National Park in Belgian Limburg. Across 12,000 hectares you will find purple heathland, golden dunes, endless forests and beautiful pools, while spoil tips and headframes recall the region's mining past.

The park has nine entrance gates, such as Mechelse Heide, Lieteberg, Kattevennen and Pietersheim, each with its own walking routes and activities. Think of the BioDrome biodiversity exhibition, the Kidsafari animal trail, the Oudsberg game for ages 7 to 18, and lookout towers. It is ideal for fieldwork on forest, heathland and landscape, or simply an active day out in nature. For a guided visit, ask about the park's rangers.

Ask your pupils to bring sturdy shoes and clothing suited to the weather. ITS-Reizen takes your class in a comfortable, safe coach to the entrance gate of your choice and picks you up there again, with an experienced driver at the wheel.
